Default Carbon Fiber Rear Skirts

Does anybody have them and how do they like them? Brands? Price?

I know C-west makes some.

Could you let us know when you get it? I'm anxious to see how it fits. I'd love to have that rear as well. How long is your wait time for it?

Yeah, I think 1 K is very pricey.

I cracked my Veilside rear lip. That is why I am thinking of making the change. Nothing like having a CF Stillen Hood, CF Veilside Side skirts, and another brand on the back.

that is AUD 1K shipped, so around USD 700

http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...ker=113&volkey

wait time is around 4 weeks to come from Japan. This part was not in stock at Weber so like most things ive bought out of Japan (wheels, nismo kit) has to be manufactured

im matching the weber rear skirt up to a JDM nismo bumper and skirts, and Ganador CF mirrors. I dont like the Nismo rear skirts, and this weber part is the only one that i like, which is why i dont mind spending the cash. Im going to paint the sides and leave the centre diffuser slats in CF

heres a pshop i did on a members car......but im leaving the oem wing

Weber had to manufacture it, so i assume they'd wait for a fair few orders before putting a batch through

david only pics i have of the weber rear skirt are off weber sports own website

no matter how much ive searched yahoo.co.jp i cant find any cars with it

so ive pretty much bought it unseen. I have no idea what it looks like around the muffler area since webers pics are so dark

I just got my C-West rear skirts. I should have them installed this weekend. I will post a shot after they are installed. I did a test fit and they are very nice.
