*Gauging Interest* New Sideskirt option - look inside
Well I am undergoing a lot of man hours and money to get these sideskirts to fit my car and my body guy said that he could make a mold of these and I could sell them as an option for maxima owners.
These sideskirts are made for an E46 BMW and made by Hamann but they will be completely bolt-on for any year 4th gen. They will be made of fiberglass and will have a gel coat ready for primer and paint. These will not be done overseas with cheap fiberglass, these will be done in the states by an experienced body shop.
Just as a size comparison in numbers:
FINISHED PICTURES:
[b]As far as pricing goes: the stillen sideskirts from stillen's site are $300.00 for the pair without shipping. I am hoping to keep the price around the same area, as of right now it looks like they would run about $300.00-$350.00 shipped anywhere in the U.S.
Please leave feedback, interest, questions, concerns and etc.
As of right now we do not have a sideskirt bigger than 4" in height, yet all of our bumpers sit lower than the 4" can accomodate, these will ensure a smooth line from front bumper to sideskirt and possibly to the rear depending on your suspension setup. I can have these made to be higher in the front, or higher in the back, or just simply a little bit higher all around... but right now I just want to see if it is worth my time and money to make a mold.

The sideskirt looks nice, but how is it bolt-on?

i do realize these will be lower, but the majority of drivers out there dont sit low enough to really worry about damaging these.. a good rule of thumb is if your front hits, back up and try again because your sides and rear will hit.
I will ask about urethane, it may up the costs slightly.

wow, nice way to bring up new stuff for the maxima...surprised no one bashed me about twin turbo 
anyway, does this mean MORE scratching? and do we finally have a side skirt that will HIDE underbody neon kits? woot!

And these would definitely hit the underbody lights from the side.

Just as an update..
Talked to the body guy and he said these skirts will come warranteed and will be primered and ready for paint.
Urethane is not an option right now, but can be addressed later if these sell well enough.
We also chatted for awhile on a new rear skirt add-on that will add a clean accent to these skirts

They look pretty good. How about doing some minor work to them to try and make them a little smoother. Not so straight and boxy. How about somthing like this....
My photoshop skills are really bad. Just somthing to try and get an idea.

Those looks great, after seeing your car from the other thread, I had second thoughts about the M3 bumper because it sat so low compared to the Stillen skirts and rears. Thanx to this, I am definitely leaning toward getting the M3 bumper. Now if you could just get some rears to match the skirts and the bumoer, that would be even better.
rock on

Hopefully I will have an update today after I pick up my car on the skirts.

99maxx-on19's may want somehting that matches what he's doen to his car. You may want something more simple, great. No reason to start bashing what others have doen to THEIR car.
Sorry to jack the thread, back on topic... I would love to see them after their installed. Seeing as it looks like I'll be keeping the Max for a while, I would be interested in them. I like the simple look myself.
