If you like side skirts that don't look too aggressive, you could always try to get the J-spec kit directly made from Mazda.

Feed CF side skirts. Nothing too extreme.

The factory option skirts should not take long, as long as somebody has them in stock over there. Aftermarket kits typically take a long time to arrive as they are bulky and the most economical way to ship is via surface freight. That, and maybe some kits need to be made on a an order by order basis, or is hard to come by.

The factory skirts appear to be two pieces each side, so I'm guessing that that packaging is smaller relatively and can therefore be shipped Global Air EMS. I got my 99 wing from Japan this way, and it only took 9 days to arrive.

How much they cost is another matter...

the stock side skirts looks soo plain and simple, but its really nice especially with the front r1 lip. I have the 99 front end and i wanna get the stockt side skrits, but i don't know where to get them. Does anyone know where i can get them and how much they would cost?
thanks

www.corksport.com . You might also want to check with Jason/RX7 Store (banner ad on top). Last time I asked, Corksport quoted $900+ +shipping to me from the left coast. These come painted - but only in the latest colors - so if you have a Brilliant Black, or Vintage Red (I think) you are in luck. The white might be the same too I think, but I do know the Silverstone and CYMs are not available and you will have to paint.

Every blue moon a used set pops up, and Flybye snagged one for $600.
