the front is quite curvy... in order for the sides to flow well (imho) you'll need to stick with sides that are somewhat the same style... and that flow from the side (look at where the lip ends)

1. JDM Nismo (front portion of the side skirts match well with the end of the front lip on the TS V.1)

2. Cwest

3. INGS+1, the side protudes a little bit, giving a lip feeling that somewhat matches the back of the front bumper.

4. Esprit Side Skirts

Talked to bulletproof Automotive, they said that only INGS+1 will match the height of the bumper. So of the offerings have narrowed it down to two:
E-Type Side Skirts
or
N-SPEC Side Skirts

What do you guys think will match better?

I feel your pain, waiting on Do-Luck has been killing me. I'm hoping it will be here by the end of this month.

Yea - last year I waited 4 months for my wheels (because I wanted my Volk's in 18's and not 19's). Only thing that gets hard is when someone sees your car after you order and say "hey why haven't you modified your wheels yet?" And you just hold your head down and say you have but are waiting for them to be delivered.

Dude, don't even get me started on my Volks. I waited 6 months for them to arrive. It was one of two problems,(maybe both), had ordered Diamond Black which at the time was a "new color". Very well could have been my vendor as well, although many people from here had purchased from him.

Yes - I have got it now. Yet, it is not done. I am fitting it up as we speek since I have so many modification to my car - I have to do a little cutting on the front bumper. Then I will take it to get painted, then pictures. My goal is to have it done before the end of the month (Sept), I travel so much for work that I am never home.
So, you will have to wait for pictures when I take her to Sebring in October to see if the Top Secret aero products really work.

Fiber Images makes a replica.

BTW Cheston, I have the front on the way (Thanks for your help) and am going to match it to Esprit sides and rear. I have a set of genuine Esprit sides all I need to get now is the rear. I am going to get a replica, I just do not know from where yet. Any ideas?

Yeah but i notice you just can't call FiberImages directly to order. Can you?

Is there a shop around who offers it?

Thanks for the info. I have tried FiberImages several times and never got anywhere with them. Do they still sell the original TS kit in CF and is that what you got?
