Question CorkSport vs. Border

anybody know if there is really any difference in looks from the rear bumper skirts by Border and Corksport?

Corksport's price is much lower so i want to make sure they atleast look the same since from the pictures i can tell Border's is what i want but not sure since on Corksport's webpage that i can only see the side view and not the rear

here is the link to Corksport's page that has both on it
http://www.corksport.com/main.php3?p...3Fcat%3D214911

and does anybody have any experience with either, was it good or bad?

Border is more expensive because you pay for the name. I need sideskirts too, and i'm thinking about getting the corksport ones.

I've yet to see one in person, but I've heard the Corksport is kind of "you get what you pay for" - the fiberglass is thin and fitment is so-so.

corksport stuff is really nice...sure the glass is thin, but if you hit anything a fiberglass front end WILL crack..they can be repaired depending on how serious it is. Anyway, I bought the corksport mazdaspeed front spoiler replica...fitment was great and the piece didn't need much prepping at all which is a problem with most inexpensive aero parts...they need a lot of sanding and treatment. This was an easy affair and looks SICK!!!

also am looking at the Feed front lip for the FC

and does anybody know of some decent side skirts?

Side skirts....i can price you out some stuff if you like but it will be special order from Japan. Don't worry about shipping, we have stuff come from Tokyo once every other week or so which means I can add your order on to ship for like 40-50 dollars. Do you want me to price out the skirts I have easy availability to? I imported a set from some wacky named co. I found bc they were plain looking, they follow the exact line of the stock car but drop it a good 2 inches and flare the sides out a bit...like mazda should have done it. Off the top of my head there is R-magic (nice stuff) which is an aggressive skirt that follows a facory line (I.E. no border type shapes like an E36 BMW skirt) but it's a large skirt which may look funny w/ a small lip like feed or mazdaspeed (which I bought from corksport). There aren't a lot of side skirts made for the car, most Jap-tuners stick w front end mods and a wing...If you want I'll get some part #'s and prices together and PM you, I can get feed as well...
