For the Sky?
I've only seen the Solstice ones.

Norm -
I really like these fenders - nice design!  How much are they painted 07 Graphite Grey ready to install?  Will they come with mesh screens for the openings?  Thanks!

How hard would it be to smooth those joints out on the side skirts.  I really like their look, but I think losing the lip where they're joined would make them 100 fold better.  Maybe a little bondo and some sand paper?

Hello, not a bad question. Yes you could blend into the body should you wish, though that would require some body work and respraying the entire side of the car. I suppose if you were getting ready to that anyway that will work. Thanks again Norm 574-255-7843

Side skirts are not hard to install as we are constantly improving the install method using double sided tape across the top and factory fasteners elsewhere. You can call me at 574-255-7843 and the side skirts are $395.00 set. Thanks again Norm

Norm - can the side skirt be removed easily to pull the fender off and replace the battery?  Is the $395/set painted?

Thanks - glad you are sharing your talents with the Sky side of the house!

That is an excellent question that I would also like the answer to...what about the battery?

Norms side skirt removal/installation is the same as the stock fender.

Where does the double-sided tape come into play?  More specifically, does the skirt attach to the body using double-sided tape?  If so, i would assume the skirt is a "challenge" to get off after the tape has been holding in place for months/years?

Norm, I want something like that for the Solstice!!!

Yes can you put these vents on one of your solstice fenders and still have the smooth transition to the door?  Thanks Norm

Hello Im sure we can come up with a double vent similiar as another member wanted something like that sometime ago. Though it would require a new mold and pattern which is a lenghty process. Thanks Norm

Thanks Norm,  You keep long hours.  Let see how much interest you get on this style for the Solstice, from this new post.

Hello Ive got to work crazy hours as I have to have projects in line at night for the guys to work on during the day while I run around answering calls, shipping, getting supplies, and do it all over again at night after they leave. God help me I love it, LOL. Thanks Norm

Great products, but I'd really like to see your website up again.  It's really hard to keep track of everything you make.

Hell is really hard to keep track of everything I make too. Im thinking of building a Sky hood now as there seems to be a demand for those. But what style, leave it stock looking have a slight mod or wild. Its hard to justify putting a LOT of money into new tooling. Id like to keep some as I put near every dime back into making new stuff. Thanks Norm

I would think a stock hood looking hood would be well received.

The RK sport hood is fully functional and the cheapest you'll find. (Unless you're looking at the carbon fiber which is more expensive)


Norm - I would recommend you go with a design as similar to stock as possible. That's what I would have purchased had it been available.

Hello Shiny lets us know how your RK  comes out. There is no way I can compete price wise with RK, they build a decent part for the price. Its not until you put our hoods up to the RK side by side that you can see the differences which for a lot of people may not be that important unless you want performance and not just cosmetics. Not a slam on RKs they just hit a different market. Though RK is the only alternative right now for the Sky. Thanks Norm
