E92kits direct fit M3 sides has anyone tried them??

I just looked on the website and they have direct fit M3 sides for $375 or something. Why are we all waiting for the Mforce design ones thats taking forever??

e92kits appears to be a reseller. And those are pics from the mforce thread. meaning those are likely the mforce sides.

^^Yeah what he said.
I too want some m3 sides but I hate playing the waiting game. They should produce the side skirts first then take deposits for them instead of making people wait so long.

M-Force and E92KITS.com side skirts are totally different.

Here is a installed pic of the M3 side skirts from e92kits.

E92kits is different than M-Force. I looked into that about 5 months ago when E92kits first introduced them. Its made by Duke Dynamics and they curve out a bit more...

Well congratulations. You are the only one who got it right. Thousands of other people must be crazy/insane/stupid.

Like others, I would love to see some before/after pics, and a detailed description how the install went without making major modifications to get perfect fitment.

I'm laying 100:1 odds that you won't be able to do that.

Any takers?

I wonder what kind of modifications though. Like it is too long? Too short? If its just relocating a bracket or something that's easy but anything other than that it would be a PITA.
