Alternative to Mazda factory sideskirts

The Mazda factory sideskirts are really nice, but the price is just too much. I know a lot of people look to the Apexi sideskirts instead since they look very simular to the Mazda ones. I found though that the Erebuni style 29 sideskirts appear to be identical to the Mazda. Does anyone know anything about these? I know that erebuni usually has issues with the fitting of their products, I was just wondering how these fit.

Yes. Thank you for posting. I've wondered the same too. I'm sure these are fiberglass. The OEM ones are abs, but these would be a good alternative if fitment is good.

I am not sure how much they are. Someone is selling the complete body kit on ebay. This is where I found them.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2463914779

They have the kit on the Erebuni web site (style 29), for $850. You can get pricing from them for individual pieces as well.

hmmmm....that's tempting. I don't know why there are indentations on it tho. So the whole kit (as one on ebay) is sold by Erebuni for 850?

I figure the indentations are for mounting. They are on the bottom and look as though that is where the sideskirts are screwed to the rocker panels of the car.

I looked at my car (under the car cover still sleeping for the winter) and the two back indentations appear to be at the same location where the black piece on the rocker in front of the rear tire is on the car. If this makes sense?

That's what I thought. So it takes that many rivets to bolt the skirt on there?
