So I've been looking for this exact skirt for a while, I think it flows perfectly with the 99 spec lip. I finally found it, but its from a low quality store. Who make the original?




Here is the site that i found but I don't think I wana trust them lol

The ones on Jose's FD (red one) were real... Made by Apex'i and they were rather hard to get back in the day. Even harder now I'd suppose. The white ones on the pic that you posted are sort of similar but fall short IMO. The contour is off as they are too "square" while the Apex'i has a rounder look to them. Which IMO is what makes the skirt look the way that it does.

A while back Rotary Extreme made some exact replicas but that was like 2005 ish... Anyway check the curve on them:

And yes those are Apex'i replicas made by Rotary Extreme

Thanks, I agree that the knockoff are far too square. However it doesnt look like rotary extreme offers any kind of body parts at the moment. Have you ever looked into putting the feed sides on the apexi sides?

Rotary Extreme has changed hands since then so it doesn't surprise me. I thought about putting some feed sides on them but I haven't pulled the trigger. But first I'd have to see how other people with other sideskirts have done it though.

A phone call or email to see if they still have the mold might be a good idea. If they have the mold maybe they would make you a set

You can also look into the 99 spec OEM sideskirts as they carry a similar design but are two piece.
