These look really good. How much? Will you be doing a front spoiler for the N/A and the GXP to match?
Yes, I plan to follow up with a new front lip spoiler. Again, much different than what Norm's transformer/club racer look, which is hot looking BTW. Mine will be more consistent with the developing side skirts to blend in as a whole.
And yes, I do have the CAD files for the NA sol and so developing a front lip it would be a matter of just making the time to do it.
Having said that, ideally would like to pursue the rear valence for both center, dual, and single exhaust systems with a new look. Another design for the side/vent panels. And possible a hood intake and wide body kit down the road.

So many new pieces, tempts me to save my money for later just to see what you come up with.

How about designing a simple piece to camoflage the vent dent, that 1) would be adhered over the vent dent with double sided tape, 2) would be compatible with your side skirt design and 3) would eliminate the need to replace the side panels. The mesh in this simulated vent could be a fine hex-mesh to pick up on the theme of the front grills. The same fine hexmesh could be used in your side skirts, which BTW, show great promise so far.
I would think it should be no prob for a body shop to trim it around the guards.
Are these skirts two pieces for each side?
And on that note if they are two pieces would that allow for the fender panel removal for the battery replacement to be done without removing the entire skirt under the door?
The reason I am asking is that other designs will not allow this.

Yes, if you take a look at the rendering of the molds, there are two pieces per side. The split line is at the same split line as the OEM fender to allow easy removal of the side fender for battery access without removing the entire sideskirt. You basically can just remove the fender along with the smaller half. I felt that this is an necessary option as you just never know when you need to access the battery. And if you prefer a more seemless look, then one can just bond the two pieces permanently and add bondo to fill in the crack.
Rudy - these rock! I like them because they are subtle and very Euro looking. I also like the idea that they are two pieced for ease of battery removal if needed. Good thinking!
When your recessed grills are ready, I think I am going to be ordering both.
I am wondering if you have thought of a price range yet?

Hey Rudy.... another question for you if you get the time. How much lower do the side skirts make the car overall? It looks like they are only a few inches lower (2"-3").

The more I look at these, the more I begin to love them! Subtle design, but very aggressive and sharp looking. I'm curious to what the price will be and if you'll offer painting.
