**manguyen** · 03-10-2010 03:29 PM

nice. i had to pay the 99 price.. i didnt get a discount off of it. Dealership is cheaper than buying these online, thats for sure.

**sinned** · 03-10-2010 03:30 PM

Is that the factory side skirt? It doesn't seem like much of a deal when it is just $20 off of list price. Genuineaudiparts.com has it for $71 with around $10 shipping anyday. Can you elaborate?

**fly300kts** · 03-10-2010 03:32 PM

$10 shipping? LOL

**cstarky15** · 03-10-2010 03:44 PM

I can't tell. is that a set of side skirts? also the DTM ones?

**fly300kts** · 03-10-2010 03:56 PM

Yes, side skirts. Now, I need to chase down a rear bumper
Phil

**Sharkfin** · 03-10-2010 04:16 PM

Because these are normally around 400, AOA is discounting them right now, including Genuineaudiparts.

**Tusin** · 03-10-2010 04:31 PM

Hey man! So does the side skirts include everything that you need to install (well other than tools). No other parts etc....?

**a4b7** · 03-10-2010 04:54 PM

what?!? im assuming thats the vortex one. I just paid almost 200 at ecs. I would never thought to check the dealer first

**RJMars** · 03-10-2010 04:59 PM

^^ votex

Phil, these are the votex/dtm side skirts I am assuming? very tempted after seeing the price, however I should probably be spending money on more important things right now.

-cant wait to see them on. You also said you're tracking down a rear bumper? So you are going full out DTM?

**schizzy** · 03-10-2010 05:16 PM

i cant find these on genuineaudiparts.i have a gouge in my passaner side and i didnt know they were that cheap

**fly300kts** · 03-10-2010 05:18 PM

Correct, included in the box there is 2 plastic ends, brackets and a bag of screws and nut plates.

Yes, thinking about it if I find a good deal on the rear bumper with dual tip valence

**fly300kts** · 03-10-2010 05:20 PM

If some of you are interested, I can post a DIY of the install.
Just let me know

Phil

**Tusin** · 03-10-2010 05:21 PM

Please do man. Mine will be here EVENTUALLY. I didn't really have a choice but to order from the dealer. Shipping in Alaska for large items is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

**a4b7** · 03-10-2010 05:23 PM

yea please post one..thanks

**fly300kts** · 03-10-2010 07:42 PM

Ok, I will post a DIY

Phil

Why the LOL? I'm really lost as I like to help out others, and I have bought a front sway bar from genuineaudiparts.com and the shipping was about $10 even though it was large and bulky. Just speaking from experience...

**Sharkfin** · 03-10-2010 08:09 PM

Because the side skirts box is huge, even compared the the sway bar. Considering ECS is charging 80-110 for shipping, yeah its a huge f-ing difference

**freeflow** · 03-10-2010 08:12 PM

^ exactly..

phil, can't wait to see em on.

Yea, but didn't you post this? my estimate wasn't so far off. When I typed in my zip code at genuineaudiparts, that was the quote I got. You know anything I don't?

Comparing shipping to ECS is not a good comparison at all, lol. If you have bought anything from them, you would know. Now I am the one laughing thinking that anyone would pay that shipping to get something that costs $70-80 at the dealer.

**Quattro** · 03-10-2010 08:25 PM

sweet deal! abt side skirts up for sale? haha

**AudiCruisn** · 03-10-2010 08:33 PM

does the one from genuineaudiparts include both left and right (2 side skirts), or do you have to order 2?

**manguyen** · 03-10-2010 08:54 PM

Think again.... make sure you read the terms of GAP, they will add additional shipping cost to the package if its oversized. Its 57.50 to ship from GAP. Still cheaper to buy at dealership.

These come as pairs only, you can not buy just one skirt from the dealership.

The size of the box is pretty large. the length is about 7ft.

**Tusin** · 03-10-2010 09:21 PM

yeah was just about to say that about GAP. Although a GREAT company to buy from, their shipping is not always the most accurate on checkout.

**fly300kts** · 03-11-2010 05:17 AM

Call your Dealer: You might be lucky like me and they will have a set in stock

Phil

Gotcha, this is one of those best ordered from the local dealer...

**CleverA4Name** · 03-11-2010 09:26 AM

What is the part number for these?

**Sharkfin** · 03-11-2010 09:27 AM

look at the box in his picture...

**MCT9891** · 03-11-2010 09:52 AM

dammit Phil, stop making this car so gorgeous. =P

**fly300kts** · 03-11-2010 12:51 PM

Almost done..
I am trying to find the correct part number of the rear DTM bumper but I am struggling because I need the PN with Dual Exaust. Then, I will be done

Phil

**Tusin** · 03-11-2010 01:43 PM

Hey does anyone here work for a dealer or is able to check Audi warehouse stock? My freaking dealer screwed up and cancelled my order (called on the status this morning). They re-ordered it, but said it could kick back if the warehouses were out of stock. When I placed the order last week there was plenty available, but I ordered a few days before it started to be advertised by ECS and other companies.

Of if anyone orders from the dealer within the next day or two and confirms the warehouses have them in stock, if you could chime in here.

**fly300kts** · 03-11-2010 01:48 PM

^^ Yak....
My dealer had only this set in stock

Phil

Update: Found a paint booth so I will shoot the paint tomorrow and install Saturday morning

**Tusin** · 03-11-2010 02:00 PM

Yak is right! Most dealers will not have this (or most of these clearance) items in stock, you lucked out big time! When the sale started there was like 150 sets available or something at all of the warehouses in the US. So I am keeping my fingers crossed.

**fly300kts** · 03-11-2010 02:53 PM

I will call couple Friends around and will let you know

Phil

**Tusin** · 03-11-2010 04:12 PM
