Default Side-skirt availability and prices

Hey dudes,
As per the interest of several others on the list as well as my own wondering about the price and availability of the body kit from NRauto as seen here:
http://www.nrauto.com/sub_index.asp?...&spage=Bodykit

I called I just got of the phone with a guy who quoted me $1050 for the sides and the rear valence, and $560 for just the sides inc. shipping. I'm thinking of getting the sides and rear. Only other consideration is finding a good local body shop and getting an idea of how much it will cost to put on. I don't know if they would lower the price for a group buy or not, it would probably depend on how many people wanted to go in.

Off topic but interesting none the less and worthy of writing for those of you who have likely thought the same thing.

"What the heck is that thing in your avatar photo? That is one ugly bug..."
To which I say:
Actually I find it quite fascinating and beautiful. It is an orb-weaver spider that has either evolved or was created (depending on your personal belief system) with a very hard thorny abdomen which helps dissuade birds from attempting to put it down their gullets (or at least making it a memorable and unpleasant experience if they do.) Nature is full of wonders. I often scratch my head at people who are so interested in finding fossilized bacteria on Mars when there are so many strange alien creatures in our own back yards. Selah!!

Just a heads up. Posting PM's in the forum is an offence that can get you banned. I don't think you meant any harm but I'd hate for you to get in trouble.

And yes, those spiders are cool.

Wow hey thanks for the warning!! Perfect timing because I was thinking about showing off a salacious p.m. that Nicole sent me just to make everyone jealous . I guess I'll just have to just enjoy it in private. Oh well.

Oh dear, yes.. I know... Honestly it just slipped out. Don't hate me Nicole, I have admitted to myself that I have a problem and I'm seeking professional help.

Interesting use of a Jewish word that has no specific meaning.
What is your interpretation of the word?

My understanding is that it is a command used by biblical writers to indicate that the reader should pause in contemplation of what he has just read, also meaning "be still and listen", presumably to the wisdom of God's word. It was also used between verses of songs. What is your understanding of it?

No one knows for sure what it means, but the best guess I've read is that it was a derivative of Calah which refers to measuring and thus Selah was meant to impart the idea of "measure these words carefully".

It's a pretty cool word, but I have come to realize I will never manage to say anything profound enough to warrant it's use as a suffix.

Interesting Charley

Nice spider too

as for the original post, do you have a picture of the rear valence? I would assume this is the rear bumper but it dosent look any different from the picture. Were they trying to sell that rear wing or was it something else?

Charley, my use of the word was for theatric effect although I did think I made a pretty good point. Ryan, Ed's car just has the sides, the whole kit looks like this:

I don't think the kit includes a spoiler, I think the one in the pic is just the stock S4 painted red. I could be wrong but I don't think so.
