Default Don't want my current side skirts

Im gonna shop around for OEM S4 door moldings and side skirts to install on my car, i currently have the V fiber RS4 knock off side skirts. They ARE fiberglass, but professionally prepped and painted by Premier auto body here in Elk Grove CA. http://www.premierautobodyofelkgrove.com/index.html Im gonna ask $250 for these locally, and $300 shipped. They do have some slight scratching on the bottom of them from hard turning, but they aren't noticable and the paint hasn't been affected by it. Let me know if you want em. They will match any silver A4 perfectly, i also have documentation of the paint work if you want to see it upon pick up.
Note: if you install these on your car you will have to modify the stock door moldings or make custom ones like i have in the pic below.

Here is a pic of it on the car.

And a pic of the custom molding premier installed on my car, you can also use S4 moldings, the A4 ones hang over the side skirt, which obviously would look stupid.

Im seriously interested. I live just north of sac, but im wondering, how much did they charge you to paint them? And was it a hard installation?

Just an FYI there are two different silvers for the A4 so might not match "any silver A4" but I am interested if you can throw up the paint code

Well i had a bunch of paint done to the tune of $1900, the only thing they didn't paint was the roof and hood. To paint and prep the skirts to match your car it would probably be about $300-$400.
The installation is just a few screws themselves which is easy, but some trimming of the door sills that wrap around needed to be done and of course the door moldings will interfere with it. If you come get it from me I'll give them to you for a solid $200.

Eh, i just like the S4 skirts better. Especially the way i drive i don't want them to hang down too much, it would just be a matter of time before i ripped them off LOL.

GLWS bro.

I saw the skirts in person and I can assure interested buyers that they are professionally painted. The color is an exact match to the facelift silver.

BTW auditech - You going to SCE in Hollywood this year?
