Hi guys.

Can anyone share what work is required to get the M4 side skirts to fit the M3?

Thanks

Because the after market designs look like butt, or they are expensive as hell (3D Designs), or the CF quality is so wavy that you can swim in it. I prefer the M-Perf ones myself.

I got forcewerkz on mine. Paid $600 with shipping. CF looks great. No wavy business. Only one sided if you care about that but you can't tell unless you are laying flat on your back and staring up at the underside of it. Agree most are ridiculously expensive

+1, M-Performance looks great painted. 10 feet away, you can't tell the difference of gloss black or carbon.

I most definitely will see you soon... That's because you're gonna get some carbon blades so that I can just take your M-Performance ones. Thanks Alex!
