Kind of a negative attitude... I have always wanted splitter kit for my v36 sedan, the only option for the side skirt splitters was from CarbonSeibon but 650+ shipping was just too Much.
My current challenge- I have the mold madefor the side skirts and trying to make a one piece side skirt. But it is not easy to make an 80" long side skirt from one piece.
The rear splats/aprons/splitters, what ever you want to call them are much easier since they are much shorter. I Have made the mold for the 2007-2009 rear bumper. Need to find a 2010+ rear bumper to make a the rear add ons for it.
It is a real work in progress and I will have pictures of the first protype when I make a presentable set.
The front splitter will be a challenge because of all the different setups we run, I myself have an aftermarket bumper on my front end.
I can try and make a simple 1" splitter lip for the front that will be wide enough for all of our setup options. Or slowly make one for each bumper, 07-09 sport and non-sport with the oem lips and also the blacktop aero-top lip. Then the 2010+ journey and sport bumpers with oem lips.
For now one thing is sure, I will have the side skirts ready Frist because we all run the same ones from 2007+, with just two options, Base or sport. I have both the Base side skirts and the sport ones as well.

Interested! Can't wait to see the prototype, I believe alot of us have been searching for a side skirt with a lip that is worth paying for.
For the rear splitter, will it run the length of the rear or just around the rear spats? As I will probably be picking up the 07-08 autokitX rear diffuser but might hold off if yours might be better.
And thanks for putting the work into this for us!

I've been on the brink of ordering the a/x piece as well, but definitely need spats as well (to hide my mufflers that stick out a bit too much.)
based on the price OP is estimating - $100 shipped - safe bet that these are just spats. Hopefully timeframe is pretty soon on these.
FWIW, ravspec seems to be stocking the BTaero (kenstyle knockoff) spats again, which are ~$150 in fiberglass, but I'd MUCH rather support a forum member, especially for $50 less!
(I'm trying for the carbonsignal look on the cheap..no way I'm springing >$1000 on this project.)
