ahhhhh..the anticipation
-
Dang! The tease is up. Yeah, skirts will be here WEDNESDAY! I meet with the painter tomorrow! :D Max, are you ready for the skirts man? Hells yes!
-
sorry to blow your cover ;) the true teaser is waiting for some pics!
-
wat up Max?
Everyone here is excited about the skirts. Apparently they are a challenge to get. I will have pics as soon as those babies get here. When are yours arriving?
-
How much did you get the skrts for? I've been looking but I havn't been able to find any with a reasonable price yet.
-
gear,
Hope this helps. its a c&p from my order.
I ordered everything so my price includes everything but duct tape. I ordered from Bav Auto. I work with Andy Lund . He had a 91 318is and now owns a E30 325is. I would encourage to move on getting skirts soon. I think its getting harder to find the skirts. FYI, Andy would know more. andyl@bavauto.com

interesting. we placed the same order a few days apart and my prices were just a few bucks more on some parts. no biggie - but why the discrepancy? oh well - at this point just glad to have them on the way.

obviously not cheap (esp after you add paint) but I think its worth it for brand new factory pieces. the parts were backordered at first. got lucky with a quick turn around on that. theres a dodgy set on ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E30-325is-318is-Side-Skirts-body-kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33654QQihZ013QQitemZ230126364442QQrdZ1
i am sure with sanding and paint they could be decent.
-
orders are almost identical, except you have "72 60 1 942 786 *6-CONTAINER $19.95". any idea what hardware this is?
btw man, sorry to hear about your trim.
-
Thats weird. I would def contact them and get a rebate.

I forgot to take that one of the posting. It will replace my ashtray. Fixed the original post. Seriously, call Bav. Andy's ext is 1270 and tell him Gary suggested you call.

These are cheap R&D fiberglass knockoffs and way different looking than the IS skirts.
The one thing I would emphasize if installing these yourself would be to measure twice and drill once. If you have the factory template, then even better. Since I live in snow area, I applied liberal mounts of paint in the drilled area. I would mention this to whomever installs the skirts.
FL318is, you better follow it up with a nice photoshoot to make up for this lame teaser. :D

Thanks! I was hoping the template comes with. If not I recall a site that had the template for the trunk lip spoiler. Maybe I can find it.
Yeah with the monsoon season approaching I will be using the paint. I will be doing a photo shoot as soon as those babies go on.
Those ebays don't look too bad.
-
didnt give those ebay skirts a close look first time around. going back to them its pretty obvious how dif they are. my skirts arrived today. they are at my families place due to a safer shipping addy. gonna scoop them this weekend and get some paint estimates.
-
Damn you Kato!
Pretty good stuff. I missed the appt with my paint guy because of an gasket replacement. I am calling tomorrow so I will let you know. Pics of before and after!
