My panel better couldn't fit the skirts cause they are not a good fit. They are rubbish..

He would have to of cut them up in bits, fit and fill..
I just had to add it ......

Yeh they are topmix but because they look like veilside minus the scoop carmate called them vielside as well. I remember buying those off carmate too.

actually they fit fine, i remember there was a certain way to do it. You had to get the top lip of the sideskirt in underneath the door first and then push the bottom lip underneath the car.

After i failed fitting it properly the first time I took it back to carmate and their guy showed me how to fit it.

edit: il try find a pic

You were one of the lucky ones. Search the amount of feedback on carmate products not fitting.

Considering my smash repairer had won awards for custom cars, and given he had stripped my Evo back to a bare shell and fully restored a dodgy body on a stolen recovered, I am pretty sure he knew a thing or two about fitting body kits.

When it comes to carmate.. Buyer be ware..
