Eh, I kind of like that they don't. This is a mod you need to earn, not just buy.

After looking at the OP's pics...I think i bought the wrong skirts...I will probably have to cut off the clips to make it work (which I am not opposed to). I just hope I can make it work or they will be $300+ garage ornaments.

If you read through the thread, OP cut those clips off, and the guy with the white one bent them?

"I spent about an hour with a dremel carefully removing the bits that prevent it from sitting flush on the narrow body frame."

Thats what I was thinking-but there is no way you can bend them out of place...they really need to be cut off. I am thinking the OP cut the clips off but I would assume he would have mentioned that specifically in the post...

Are you having to use heat gun to mold the edges in toward the body to lessen the gap?

btw my guy is $450 for powder coat and Porsche logos and then $90 for the caliper rebuild kits. $540 in total. Have u looked into pricing?
hes charging me $500 for the spring labor and $80 for the alignment and we are using Techart springs.
hes trying to get me to do new brakes and rotors while we are at it bc he says the labor is already essentially done. Not sure if I’m gonna do brakes and rotors Yet.

I mean like, put work in. You can't just buy them, and bolt them on. Seems like they are going to be a 10 hr + mod. You won't see many NB cars with them because of that, which makes it somewhat unique.

Not planning on using a heat gun to mold it-I will either use fender welting or silicone to fill the gap once its on.
For the caliper, your pricing is pretty spot on-my guy does it for $500 including the rebuild but that may be because I have done a few parts with him.
$500 for the spring labor on this car is fair-the rears are a pain (I know as I did mine on my own). The hardest set I have ever had to do by far. For your alignment thats a great price (its about $100 over here).
If your brakes/rotors are worn, I would replace-if not save it for later!
