Does anyone have a clue where i can get these? Kinda wanting them bad.

No, they do not exist.

The only option is to purchase a set of SS side skirts in fiberglass, have them fitted, sanded, adjusted etc to be accurate for direct mount, then remove. Once removed, you would have to wrap each side in CF, and refinish them, and then remount the final product.

It's fairly labor intensive - but definitely a possibility if anyone had the time and money to pursue it.

believe it or not they do exist. Not from Shine Street directly (knock-off), but I had a set. So did one other guy here. For a while there was a place making a 4-piece ShineStreet-style kit (front and rear lips + skirts) and the SS wing, all in full CF. Then there was a seperate company making the flares in CF. Not sure how easy it will be to find any of those though.

I painted them, so not really. Then I destroyed them :lol: I replaced/fixed various pieces as I damaged them :) 2 rears, 2 wings, 3 skirts I think I went through...4-5 front lips? :lol:

I only had one set of CF sideskirts though, the other 2 were FG. It *might* have been 3GwithVolks that had the CF sideskirts here too, but can't remember for sure. Someone else may remember.

I know they exist somewhere. I have the front and rear cf lips and i want to get the cf fender flares too but i need the side skirts. Boosted3g was suppose to get back to me if he could get them. I wish you could remember where you got yours.

Well Boosted3g told me they were in pre production last fall and that they were being made so i have waited and waited and nothing. He called me and said they were a go and no response. I have called, emailed, texted. Anyone ever talk with him?

OH wow, I to wanted the full set in CF I have the front lip and Rear as well I did talk to boosted 3g a few months ago and he was not doing to much with the car scene anymore(atleast when I talked to him). He was into selling this acai berry juice stuff, he sent me some samples it was pretty good but that was the last I have ever heard of them. I am in the process of ordering the 3m di noc I am just curious to see how different the patter is between the real cf and the vinyl, if it looks good I will probably to my flares in it as well but we will just have to see how it goies.

my brother has some of the 3M stuff-- it looks pretty good. he wrinkled some it wrapping some dash pieces, so that is more of a give-away then the texture. for anyone that has handled real cf, you can only really see a difference up close-- like less then 2ft-- on his car, if he hadn't wrinkled it, looking in through the window, you would swear it is real cf.

the overall shine and pattern of the 3M stuff is very close to how real cf acts under the same lighting conditions.

edit:

some more research--
