Does anybody know if there are replica odula side steps in the US?

I am almost done with my turboII's exterior; shine splash guards, roof spoiler, mazdaspeed front lip from CS. The only other piece I'd want would be the Odula sideskirts, but RHDjapan sells them for close to 800 bucks! So am just wondering if there are any cheaper alternative to this side skirt out there somewhere... thanks guys!

here's a picture of the odula side steps...

Check this GB out. Much more reasonable than $800. https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-ce...oiler-1003174/

Those skirts are nice. However, I wouldn't wish that giant wing on my worst enemy.

Correct, not an Odula replica. Obviously you can tell if you click the link.
I was thowing out a "cheaper alternative to this side skirt" he asked in the original post.

I have no connection with the people running the group buy, but I like to support innovative projects for our cars when possible.

the skirts in the GB are copies of generic skirts, apparently they fit the FC as well as the FD

Swing, the ones you want look pretty basic in design. Have you considered making them yourself?

Hell, you could buy a couple a' pieces of wood from the Home n' Race Depot, make a couple of female molds, throw on some painters' tape with carnuba wax (fiberglass release) and lay down a couple of layers of matt. BOOM, dun son!

Seriously, what would tht cost you? 50-100 bux?

I've actually considered this approach, it would be my last resort. Who knows, maybe you guys will see me start a group buy in the near future lol
