Yes I just had it on the flattest surface near me w/ all tires @ optimum level & there was definitely a difference/the middle in between tires was higher than the bumper's lowest point..

It's still on the to-do list, just sitting somewhere below the Brembos and the stereo.

Stereo is 'done', and I have (more) wheels on the way so that I'll be able to clear the Brembos... so once that's done, the skirts might finally get fitted, and I'll repaint the bumpers while I'm at it.

All going to plan, this should happen some time before 2020

To stop the dreaming, just know I spent some USD. 3k in total on the Glanz kit (front, side and rear).

That was about half of that for the kit, some USD. 700 for painting at the manufacturer, and the rest as purchase fee and transport of the 2 boxes.

I don't think a J-Complete kit will be any cheaper, probably more expensive knowing the market they operate in.

Nothing coming from Japan is cheap, nothing!

I just stumbled on this one here on the Taiwanese Yahoo.
Never seen anything like this advertised here before, just in case someone is interested.
I have no further idea what or how, and it seems they were installed somehow wrong for the photo, but anyhow ...
NTD. 9.000 = ~270 US$.

They say they are new from Japan, and to me it looks they are just on the car for picture taking, without any bolts.

They look to be the 'copy Arden" ones, and look like below from the side (same blue car as the posts on page 1).
Now don't reply me you want to see them in green .

Hello Folks, I thought you might like to know the following. The J-Complete Aero set is available for 286000 yen, you can also order the skirts only for 86400 yen.

Regarding the shipping, I was quoted 108000 yen to Switzerland from Japan.

Expect to wait about 6 weeks from order.

Someone mentionned a group buy ?

I presume that does not include painting?

You know I am not interested to purchase, but out of interest, which kit is this exactly?

Hi, no painting included. It's for the skirt kit (not the full one)
