Had the whole gfx in real life didn't put the side on. Again to me it still the same look. It like swapping the oem tips for gfx tip not much of a change for me to spend money on. If it look different from the factory ok but it the same look is what I'm saying.

Mine were $60.50 + $58 shipping = $118 which is still 1/2 the cost of a lot of the other colors not including shipping, so I consider it a steal.

thanks for the info OP. just ordered mine. $120 with shipping is a no brainer. i mean it doesn't stand out as the GFX front or rear aprons but just couldn't passed up the price. do you think it's a type in Sewell's system? if they have promotion like this why didn't they advertise here.

i think 280 for painted side skirts isn't unreasonable. The reason it's hard for me to justify buying it is because a year ago was half the price. If you buy some fake ebay stuff and get it painted it'll be around 300 bucks anyways. I think most people think 280 is expensive because they're comparing it to the colors that are 60 bucks.

I ordered mine for $60 + shipping a month ago and I received it. It must be intentional. If it's a typo, I guess they haven't noticed!

Its a good deal but I dont think they make too much of a difference.

Ive seen them in person and I could notice that they were different from stock sides, but not by much

Oh well, makes me feel like I am making some sort of "progress" on my car by doing little things here and there... axle back, roof spoiler, oem trunk lip, painted calipers w/ decals, tint, CF interior wrap, etc

Though I'll really have to wait until next year to get my coils and wheels ... then I'll really be making progress.

Progess is progress bro lol. Its up to you though. If you like the look of the GFX sides, then get them while theyre cheap

For sure... and like I said, I could just sell my OEM skirts for cheap and still come up even on the deal, so really it's a no brainer.

A very good comparison for OEM vs GFX sides.
