There needs to be more discussion on how not great the oem skirts are. You don't want them. They are some spongy urethane material. You need an extremely skilled body person to prep and paint them and then its 20ft of double sided tape to install them. They are really not good. Perfectly fine if factory installed but not great under any other condition.
Find someone making them out of frp or even fiberglass. You will be much better off

I have the OEM side skirt in my shed and its flexible but as mentioned will require a good body shop and a lot of flex additive in the paint. I've been hesitent to put it on for years.

I had previously seen these, I just don’t like how they’re in a two piece set up, I’ve been looking for a whole one piece side skirt. How bad “goopy” are the oem ones?

lol I found a couple of one piece designs on carbonfiberhoods.com but they look like they’re squished up and I’ll have to mold them a bit. If you know of any other place I can get them that have good fitment lmk .
get the ones from shine. i cant speak on their current level of quality of but we installed a set a couple years ago and they were pretty good on fitment. the gap between the fender and door i feel is a little large but it doesn't look bad.

thanks brotha, ima def look further into them. Seen a YouTube video of guy having them on. But something about that line between the fender and door on the skirt I know will keep me up at night lol but You think these side skirts are the poly urethane one?
But. part number is kind of irrelevant because they were discontinued a long time ago and no longer available.
Oh, and yes they are a terrible quality part, but apart from that, also look like *** compared to the factory lines. I think the OEM wheel splats/mud guards look OK, but personally prefer none of that. The only thing that complements the factory sill line well are the aftermarket side steps.

1999 Spec with 1993 spec wheels. 1999 Base 16" wheels with mudflaps 1996 Option 16" wheels with OEM option sideskirts. RG-R BBS 18" Wheels. 1999 Shop Options catalogue showing sideskirts matched with R1 wing. The option sideskirts where spec'd by colour code. There were different PN for the 17" wheel cars. I have not found out why. My guess the may been larger at the ends to line up with the 17" wheels. Or maybe the 17" cars had a different paint spec.

A lot of the stress cracking came came from pulling them off the prior car. Lesson: once they are on, don't try to remove.
With the paint sanded off the noodles were very floppy. But the stress cracking was gone. Shop let tthe sideskirts sit for one month before installing. But this may have just been because they were busy, and they were doing the work for free, because they could not guarantee the outcome.
