I appreciate you trying to spearhead this and you are right when you say that like the Tiburon, we have a limited aftermarket but if you're not doing the research and one of "your guys" is doing it, how can you accurately answer any questions asked and know how anything is going to work. For all you know, you could have found out that there wasn't anythign but air behind that rocker panel and it was all jsut for looks. I was hoping you were goign to be more proactive about this and not just delegate it to others and stand around watching it from the sidelines.
I still don't see what you people have against me owning a company and not doing the work myself. I have PROFESSIONALS who do the work while I handle "business" related functions. In this new company that you're dealing with, are you speaking directly to the CEO who will be hands-on with the actual work that's being done? Just because my company has a different structure than some of the others doesn't mean that's a shortcoming.
Either way, if this other company is familiar with the car (i.e. has had the side panel off) and says that they can retail a set of sideskirts for $350 before shipping, then I can do so for $350 shipped. Not only that, but I can also offer the option to have them done in carbon fiber and/or Kevlar--as well as colored carbon fiber and/or Kevlar! Of course, these two materials will cost a bit more (maybe around $500 shipped), but at least the members of this forum will have the option to get something other than fiberglass. As I'm sure you all know, if you get a carbon fiber/Kevlar sideskirt, they will not have to be painted--so the slightly higher cost of the skirt is offset right there.
