tried looking for si sideskirts but no luck (even left notes on riced out body kit si's and still no call)
now, i was going to paint them myself with a can of spraypaint, but im afriad, ill screw em up (want to get that nice si paint shine to it)...
now does anyone have any experiance on DIY?
also, does macco do a good job on it? and where can i get it painted for $30, cause that sounds like a good deal to me. ( i mean, how much does paint shops usually charge to paint small items like sideskirts (with a clear coat shine to it)). thanks
