i'll see how the interest of the people goes. im still in debt, but if i have some help i might jump in if it starts to look really good.
Damn, that is a lot of dough for some sideskirts.

I have an email into the guy regarding price and lead time. Assuming that the terms are favorable, I will verify fitment issues with him.

how about a few guys get in and buy one set. Take that set make a mold and produce these out of fiberglass.
I'd love to have them, but I like spending 500 on the engine.
Just a thought

I will return one day.

I think the skirt is a little lower than the stock front bumper. With extensions or the GT4 bumper, its about the same. However, this is an OEM option side so it would look better than any aftermarket sideskirt without front or rear pieces.

I'd love to get a set but I don't have the money to spare for them right now. If I had a final price and a due date for payment/downpayment I might be able to scrape up some cash for these.

The guy in the UK emailed me back today and the price was 378 pounds ($675) shipped per set for 5 sets. I was quoted $600 for one set last year so something is not right. I emailed him again pointing this out and asking for clarification. If we can't get it down to around $500, I am not going to run the group buy.

To let everyone know, I am working on a solution here that will bring these skirts to the U.S. for UNDER $500 per pair. We will need a few more buyers though. This is still in development but the quality should be top notch. I will release details as they become available.

Good News TRD Skirt Lovers!
Shipping prices from the UK company were unreasonable. Also, the skirts are expensive by themselves. As a result, I contacted our own Doggy a.k.a. Romas of DCW and he has agreed to make these in a group buy IF there is enough interest. Of course, you can expect the quality and fitment that buying from Doggy always means. The preliminary prices are as follows:
5 buyers: $435 per set shipped to your door.
8 buyers: $405 per set shipped to your door.
We will need a deposit of $100 to confirm your interest. The group buy is only guaranteed to be open until we have 5 buyers. If there is continued interest, we may hold it open for a short while longer to get the price down a bit. These prices are subject to change based on how much the originals need to be reworked and how much material will be required. Realistically, a set could cost $35 more or less depending on circumstances. If you are not in the U.S. your price might be more (or less if you are near Romas)
We will need five members for this to work out. Manny, DEF and I are in. That means we need at least two more.
