Cheapest source for color-matched Subaru side skirts and spats?

Anyone have a cheap, reliable source for the Subaru color-matched sideskirts (dealer option) and side spats (they seem to be quite rare here the States)? I tried calling my dealer but they wanted an arm and leg for the skirts ($260) and asked me what the hell the spats/strakes were

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

you're gonna be stuck with eBay... mid $200s seems to be the going rate... and a pretty similar rate to paint the black ones since they need special care cuz their finish isn't paint friendly. Let me know if you find something.

hey ryan. for skirts, try painting them yourself. its not too hard, i was planning on sanding mine down some more and adding more layers of clear coat. maybe we can paint yours at the sametime.
as for the spats, try subiegal. she normally has good deals.

Thanks guys! Cheapest I found was $220 from Irvine Subaru. Gee I dunno Vic, I've seen some pretty poopy DIY jobs (not yours, BTW

) I don't have faith in myself haha, and the finish on the flat blacks are a real pain. BUT I will keep searching. Maybe I'll try to talk my dealer into giving me a deal haha. Wish me luck!

The spats/strakes are the little winglets that attach to the sideskirts just in front of the rear wheel. Many JDM Imprezas have this popular application to the Subaru/STi factory option aero parts.

Hey go to www.vividracing.com They have the oem side splats or you can get the replica one. Personally i would go with the replica cuz it's only like 2 little things and it's like a 100 dollars cheaper

jiveturkey: Thanks for the info! $60 sounds about right, and that's a useful site.

WRichieXSTi: Thank you too for the info -- except that Vivid's prices scare me
