Default FYI!!! JP Visage side skirts too short

So I stopped by the body shop to see how progress is coming along and the owner told me the side skirts were to short by a 1/4 inch on each side. He said he add to modifiy and add a 1/4 inch to them. Posting this just in case someone decides to order these in the future. I wished I would of taken a pic.

Authentic or replica? If that's authentic I would have contacted the company to complain.

Wow that's an eye opener. Just as reputable as a replica dealer it seems.. although one can argue that except for their front lip, they essentially took the Wald sides and rear and made subtle changes to them, then called it their own.

I do prefer the JP Vizage rear over the Wald, but after hearing about the fitment and the fact that they blamed it on the shop guys shrinking it (wtf?) I might as well go with a replica. That's disheartening

I find this hard to believe that after ALL these years you're the first to mention this.

+1 I'm don't see how they added 1/4 inch if it authentic cause it suppose to be polyurethane not Fiberglass.

I don't. Year or year a mold will lose its shape and things like this will happen.
