Exact same concept. It could be done, probably easier than the way they do it.

Am Aluminum Mold the size of a side skirt is astronomical in price, Molds I make at work cost about $30K just for a gas mask, I couldn't even imagine making a mold that size... Now if your talking roto-molding thats a another story...

We are talking about cheap knock off parts produced by companies that could give a crap about fitment. Not even remotely the same.

From a all my research I did before putting them on most were done this way. I think I even posted on here. I've only seen one car not like this and I believe it was BMW, and I think they were stock. I can change them though, with more input.

Yeah they fit either way and unless you track it's pretty much a non issue. But, right is right, and wrong is wrong.

I'm not really a noob, just never had anyone to train me any differently. It's why happens when you teach yourself. Here is a picture from far away. Name:  45B915DC-5371-45D4-B772-053F88750030-18256-000000F4CE1E7584.jpg

Oh and they come black. Made of polyurethane I believe. There are small flaws in it that need touchéd up but nothing major.

Damn you Hesselrode! I bought these and painted/installed them about 5 months ago and because I THINK fitment and everything came out really well I didn't want to post about them so everyone would get them but now everybody is gonna have them! ALSO I'm betting your rotors are straight vane just like mine and it becomes preference as to the direction of the slots. I prefer mine to go that way, I think it looks better. It's kind of humorous you have the Mazdaspeed front, so do I, you got the Xcess Motors shrouds, so did I, and now you're still looking for sideskirts just like I was. Since the cats out of the bag...
