Yea I'm sure some ricer around here has them. Even if they fit as well as stock they're still butt ass ugly.

If you get the real BOMEX kit pieces they fit great but stay away from the others so called BOMEX aka. bomz,bmx,etc. they aren't predrilled and aren't as easy to install. I have the complete real BOMEX kit and it slid into place and bolted up easier than the factory pieces!Right now it's getting painted and as soon as it's done I'll post a pic.(2002 mercedes benz bahuama blue pearl metallic)

My bad on that one. For some reason, my brother got onto this site just fucking around, so that was NOT me posting that. I guess I'm going to have to start locking my computer up or logging out so the little fucker can't mess with my shit again.

Sorry man, I dont. All I have is "pretty" shots of it. I can tell that even with the Bomex kit, I had to to a little forming on the "front wheel" side of the skirt. It stuck out to far for my liking.

In my opinion I dont like the front of the kit but the side skirts are pretty sexy.

yeah Im not a big fan of the front (both fronts). But the rear and sides are sexy.

I just like the bomex kit because it makes it look like a totally different car and my side skirts are being glassed on so the fitment issue ...had to be clearenced a little on both front and rear fenders but nothing major at all, about 3 minutes of filing.

One thing you have to remember is, no matter what brand or type of sideskirt or full kit for that matter, will have a chance of fit ment issues. You have to consider the way the piece is handeled through the whole process of being made and ending up on your front door step. When its laid in the mold, if not left long enough to set correctly, will definitley have a tendency to deform. Then shipping also comes into effect. Say your skirts are coming from CA and you live in NY. Well its nice and hot in CA and heat will lets say "soften" the integrity of the piece, thus making it easy bend, open up, close in, in different spots.

Then you have to add into the company making the piece. The more known brands are less likely of this as opposed to your "Joe Schmoe" companies that are only worried about your money. Anyways, you might have problems from the way the company handles it when trimming it down for fitment. Somebody like Bomex will actually take there time trimmimg the piece for proper fitment because they want the good word spread around so others will be buy. As for you "shit" companies, they will try to pump as many as they can not giving 2 shits of quality becuase there to worried about your money.

The point Im getting at, is theres always going to be a slight chance of a fitment issue. All you can do if this happens is give it to your favorite bodyshop or get a heat gun and the filler/fiberglass and some sand paper and have at it yourself. This is just a fact of life when you want to start getting into this part of the aftermarket world, lol.

Good luck

Yup, I got the Bomex front and sides, F! fenders, and Combat rear. Front fits decent, fenders fit okay. Rear and sides another story. Lets just my Dremel's cutting and sanding attachments are getting alot of usage. And I had to sotck up on fiberglass and bondo and a boatload of sandpaper. What I thought would take me a week has taken twice that. But the damn weather hasn't been to cooperative either.
