The sideskirts look fantastic in the photos! Just a few questions:

- Do the skirts weigh less than the OEM ones?
- Is there any drilling required to install them (or are they light enough to be held on with just DS tape)?

Thanks!

Just curious, where are the photos? Wanted to see them before I send my payment.

there are a few, test fit, pics in the beginning of the thread...

My car is being sprayed, as we speak...the paint will be done on Friday, but I won't be able to pick it up until Monday or Tuesday...I'll post some pics early next week...

as for being lighter then the oem skirts...YES they weigh MUCH less then the OEM skirts...with enough tape, you could probably get away with taping them on, but a few screws/bolts would be a good idea...wouldn't want them flying off on the highway...

Ok....just to let you guys know, we made 4 bad pairs already. They were no flexible enough. We are coming up with a solution to make it easier to be more consistent on the flexibility.

sorry for the delay on pics... the shop ran into some issues while painting the car...but it is FINALLY finished and well worth the wait.... I had a chance to look, inspect, and pay for the car... It looks F-IN AMAZING!!!! it has been raining for the past 3 days and I really don't want to drive it home in the rain...it's supposed to clear up tomorrow, so I WILL be picking it up first thing on Monday...I'll get pics up as soon as I get the car home...

Still waiting for mine...... I was 4th in line
Got an email on the 7th saying mine were next. No word since.
These must be really hard to make.
