Mariah Motorsports Mode Fout kit

My wife just let me know that the Christmas present I wanted is no longer made. I wanted the Mariah Mode Four kit and they no longer can get the side skirts. Anybody know a source for similar side skirts (new or used)? They sell sell the front air dam and spoiler.

I don't know of any company still making much for these cars besides the air dam or spoiler...

I'd have to dig them out but I have a set of skirts that were made back in the 80's. They aren't Mariah, but they look damn close... Shipping would probably suck though.

I know this may sound stupid but have you called them? They might remake some from old molds or may have a suggestion.
I'm thinking about calling for their large rear spoiler they used to sell.

My wife called them today and spoke to "Jim". Their web site don't allow you to purchase on-line so she called. Jim said that the company they outsource the side skirts to doesn't make them any longer. Not sure who the out sourced company is.

I just called them, the side skirts are NLA because they lost their supplier, they went belly up and the tooling dissapeared. He still has a couple of the airdams and rear spoilers.

Im sure someone could make a mold based off a nice pair of side skirts.

Do they outsource all of their fiberglass work? Or is it just those side skirts?
