Nip / Tuck - The Boxster saga

[Travis]

Well . . . . .

Another bump in the road with the project, as posted earlier had brought the Zender skirts (f$%#berglass) to replace the mis-matched ones Porsche had sent with the Aerokit.

Well they had worked on them and painted and worked and then called me this morning to ask me to come down for a chat, the body guy (who is a nice guy and good at what he does) refused to put them on unless I told him in person to do so after I saw what they would look like.

Thank God he has good taste and called first, those skirts really were "RICER" and even though they worked to try to get the line straight, they would have to be mounted with new holes drilled (do not match up) and "Perma-Gluded" whatever that meant, but he said with them being fiberglass and rock chips that they would look like "Rice-Crap" in a few months.

So now they are detailing (without skirts) and will call this afternoon to pick up.

lol. No way you can send back one of the skirts to get replaced since they sent you the wrong one?

Travis,

Since the Zender skirts didn't work out, are you gonna give the Aero skirts a try ?

Were you able to exchange them for two of the same ?

Just wondering...

I am trying to see if I can get an exchange, but first answer was "Sorry, but you should have returned prior to painting"

So if anyone out there has a Aerokit I drivers side skirt . . . . .

Why dont you just get them blasted and reprimered? That way they are back to "normal" condition.

Hey, im gonna return the "zender side skirts" I bought (I didnt get the right ones), I might buy yours from you, but itd have to be uber cheap. Why did they look so bad on the car?

Not that they looked real bad, just that with them being fiberglass and the top "line" was a little wavy (if lined up by front and rear it bowed up in the middle to close to the door, and if he had sanded them down to line up; then because there is no lip on the top it would be thick on front and rear and thinner in the middle. Just would not look 100% (and the labor to do it all and permanent mounting would exceed cost of a new set of OEM)

To be truthful I would not sell these to you, now maybe that new member that has his own shop might love them... where is old "tpmjosh231" anyway??
