Thanks for the heads up! I'm definitely in as I was going to purchase these anyway. Just registering on the forum and I'll add my name.

They're taking payment now but I believe there's another 2 weeks or so to join.

More info in this thread:

Manufacturer recommends mounting via 8 screws into the side skirts. You'd drill along the bottom so they wouldn't be visible.

Stupid question alert: Are the holes pre-marked/drilled? I saw a photo of the skirt extensions itself from the z4 forum thread, it didn't look like there were any pre-marked/drilled holes on them.

No, not pre-drilled. This is so you can choose placement/aggresiveness of the skirts, whether you want them to stick out further or not.

Mine stick out a little further and no issues thus far. Even from clumsy instructors climbing in and out of the car (broke my phone holder though )

The pic shown from the seller shows the ends to be pretty square. But I see in DUBSED car that the ends are nicely curved. Is that done by him or just from being tucked in more? Please let me know. Thank you guys...

The stock piece has a bit of a radius on one side each end. You will need to custom fit to your liking.
I ended up mocking up mine from a piece of cardboard to get the desired shape and look and then cut the CF pieces.
You will want to lay masking tape in the area where you will be cutting/grinding as the CF and fibreglass backing will splinter off if not protected.

ok thanks but what happens to the finish? I see how there is a solid black at the edges and then the CF? So when you cut it, how do you maintain that? Sorry if Im not making sense

That is a piece of body trim channel

Did you use the 8 or so self-tapping screws to affix? (I think that was the recommendation from supplier, but I'm going back a bit so may be mistaken).

I used 8 screws + 3M tape, and it's solid on there - so much so that I'm worried for damage to more than the carbon should a passenger inadvertently step on them.

Also - any quality issues? Mine came with a few dings and imperfections in them, and were a bit short.

If you can wait for Skyer's side skirt, it's coming in the summer.
