Side Skirts
Re: Side Skirts
Alright, I'll chime in! Unless you have $1000 laying around on top of the cost of the skirts, forget about it! I bought the skirts from MikeR to test my skills. I knew these were a POS to begin with but wanted to get some experiences with fiberglass fitment and installation as I recently got involved in body work. Let's just say, it took approximately a total of 10 hours of cutting, prepping, fitting, and paint to get these on. It will cost you a fortune if you take it to a reputable shop to get installed and painted. I think I did a pretty good job but they're not perfect and never will be.

Re: Side Skirts
Anyone buying any kind of aftermarket fiberglass part had better be wary that this stuff isn't plug and play. It's plug-remove-fix-plug-attempt to play-remove-fix-plug-play. In the end, it's a huge waste of time and money unless you've got the time and knowledge to do it yourself.
I bought a urethane aftermarket front bumper for my Focus when my original one got torn up. The only reason I went aftermarket is because my Focus had the "Street Appearance Package" which meant the car already had a big wing and sporty rear bumper. What a disaster. Most shops wouldn't touch it. The only one that did charged me an insane amount with over 2.5 hours of just fixing errors. Not worth it. I wish I would have just gotten an OEM one and drove around with a mismatched car.
After that experience, I wouldn't let anything aftermarket even close to my Crossfire.
And fyi, Extreme Dimensions isn't going to fix a thing.

Re: Side Skirts
Saw the pics of the unfinished skirts, they are the same piece of crap that I purchased...BTW back on track with my car. ordered shocks and brake lines from Needswings,,,,Is it just me or does Rob's voice on the phone sound like Sgt. Joe Friday from Draggnet (the TV series from years ago). I swear if he at any time told me " JUST THE FACTS SIR" i would have dropped the phone.. Great guy. lot of help,
Thanks for the referral Howard and Jim.
