KBD Urethane Side Skirts?
Anybody have experience with these? They are a 1-piece version of the OEM sides. I know the fitment of aftermarket urethane parts is generally crap, but I thought it was worth asking. If you have some oem sides for sale, let me know..

FYI I have OEM 99 side skirts. If you could get some new in the box that was the right color you are good. Otherwise they are a disaster.
They are solid foam and heavier than you would think. The "paint" is actually a color bonded to the outer layer of the foam. I had mine painted since they were cracked when I got them from them being removed (they are taped and glued and screwed onto the car) and the paint cracked and peeled, it's going to be REALLY hard to have paint properly bond to that weird foam crap.
I think Shine makes some nice fiberglass copies of the 99 side skirts. I don't think you need urethane as much on the side skirts as you would on a bumper. Also that would be a substantial weight savings over the OEM.
The OEM does fit well, though.
I think I posted up a copy of the Mazda Japan instructions for how they mount, search for that.
