soon I hope, lol....it's gonna warm up this weekend

 

did you source out any front splitters yet,,,
If you made a template I could water jet you a set out of lexane...
I did the same for my burnout chin spoiler but just havent mounted it yet...

 

I found a set of universal ones on ebay that would work for $100 that I might buy

 

Hurry up and put em on, the car looks real ill.

 

just make sure they dont exceed the dimensions of the 'fangs' I think it would look funny if it went past that feature

 

^right
found these universal cf ones

 

this is the differnce Im referring to...
I would try to find another or cut these down to size the match up with the edge of your fang...

 

yeah, I see what your saying

 

just get them anyway and mod them with seeing your other work Im pretty confident you can make a template and cut the CF to match....

 

I think I could manage it

 

Man your ride is getting so nice! I'm getting jealous over here I can't wait until we have this spring meet... 3, maybe 4 turbo'd 8's..... in Iowa! Plus Carlos' RX-2 is pretty damn nice too. It's gonna be a good summer

 

were did u get CF splitter

 

ebay sells that one pictured above

 

Front from XXX Saki XXX and sides off Craigslist.. All authentic tsunami urethane.

 

^that's because there is no replica of the tsunami kit

 

Ok, warming up my garage as I type this....hopefully I'll have them installed tonight. I will try to get pics but I don't know how good they will come out since it's close quarters.

 

^Go go go!

 

Yet.. the guys I purchased it from have there own fiberglass shop.. and these side skirts were covered in fiberglass.. I imagine they bought these to make a mold. He said he can get me a fiberglass Mazdaspeed for $140

 

The side skirts are harder to install than I anticipated....especially if you have the stock appearance package....the factory drilled holes in the rocker panel for mounting clips to hold the aero flares.....a little bit overkill in my opinion.

Because of this, a mounting clip shows right in the opening of the side skirt. Tomorrow I will have to go to my work and pick up some plugs to cover the hole and paint match it, so it won't be seen as well as protected from the elements....

Also, the side skirts are a bit short...so I had to take some material out of the inside corners. A dremel did the job. Usually I would have done all this before I painted it, but my garage was so damn cold and I figured it couldn't be that bad since the bumper fit so good. Also, it's challenging to try to install these on your own.....Hopefully tomorrow I will finish this.

 

good to know.. is it the front side or the rear side that leave the holes?

 

the red dots are the general vicinity of the mounting clips that were drilled by the factory

 

^Man you have some dark tint!

 

15% all around

 

I finished installing the side skirts today. Man they were a pain to do by myself. I managed it though, and they look great.

Just a word of advice for anyone doing this install themselves.....Make sure you are working in a garage or shop that is warm. When applying the double sided tape, it does not like to stick when it is cold. I had a heck of a time getting it to stick. I used my wife's hairdryer to heat up the surfaces as well as the tape and pushed on the sides until they stayed in place. A hair dryer works better for this also since it will not heat up the paint too much, unlike a heat gun. If using a heat gun, be very careful because it will cause the paint to bubble and you will ruin it.

I will work on getting some pix soon....my garage is too small to get a good shot.

 

^So when I wake up tomorrow morning, I better see some pics
