Unless you are extremely experienced in custom body work. Don't take my word for it. Those of you that have them get an estimate from a good body shop. I don't care what the product is called in terms of flex. It is still fiberglass. Fiberglass isn't a flexible material. It is stiff and brittle with stress points. If forced to fit then at some point it will crack. You can tell from the photo's how it needs to be shaped, stretched and twisted in place.
Stretch, twist, melt, heat, what have you it is not what we all ordered. Yesterday I spent roughly 2 hours sanding and glazing Dave's skirts. Filling every pin hole and sanding down every high spot. I went as far as cleaning up the underside of the skirt JUST SO IT WAS PERFECT. We had them all prepped for paint and went to do the test fit. Needless to say with our new bracket and all it was just not going to cut it. After 6 hours of light sanding, trimming and forming, it still wasn't right. I am talking 6 hours for one side NOT INCLUDING PAINT PREP TIME. They only way to make these right are to go above and beyond a replacement fit. I am talking screws and glue (we all remember the 350z thread).
These skirts have become problem after freaking problem, More then half of them are junk as in can not use or shouldn't have to use, the sets that are "good" are a total crap shoot. We tried 3 different driver side skirts yesterday. One of which fit better in the rear with the clips, NONE of which fit decent in front even with our bracket. We just cant do it guys the whole shipment is going back, someone is going to open there wallet up and give our hard earned money back.
In the meantime Dan will be sending out 5 sets to members we have chosen, these are members who have expressed they wanted them will have voices that travel the further est. We would ship out 5 of our own but because there is now an open shipping claim and potential refused shipment we have been advised to not send any out. These members will give there opinions on these skirts so the rest of you don't have to take our word for it. I will be dropping my car off hopefully this weekend with a set to our body shop guy to see what he can do with it. I am giving him free rain to do whatever he has to do within reason. We are going to have him also do a full write up like the 5 members receiving them so we have further evidence, that this is in no way shape or form what we spent our money for.
I am not going to speak for Brett but it sounds like we have a pretty strong case, there is just too much wrong here and no right. You guys have been on board through everything and you know first hand everything that could have gone wrong has.

Hopefully we will have more information as it comes, seeing as this will more then likely get solved now that Bretts involved.
