Have not heard of them. Just bought a set of side skirts from RPI Designs and am awaiting delivery.

I stopped counting how many side skirt vendors there are after 33. It's a 'get what you paid for it ' situation now and a wide variety of materials and finishes. I say go with forum vendors, period.

Those look like the ones I bought off of eBay.
Here is who I got them from... Packaging was perfect and shipping was fast.

These are ABS plastic. The ones I am looking at are fiberglass.

Good luck on the RPI delivery. Mine arrived smashed a week before I was leaving for the western scenic tour. They could not get me another set before I left but they did refund my money.

I have 3/4 side skirts. OEM in carbon flash. New. Never installed. Hardware and instructions included.

PM me if you’re interested.

What's better fiberglass or ABS Plastic? I'm looking into getting ABS but really want stage 2 side skirts if possible

In terms of general material composition: fiberglass tends to shatter while plastic tends to bend. In theory fiberglass would be lighter but in part like this with no real structure component to it there can't be that much difference. With a front splitter I would strongly advise against fiberglass. For side skirts? Fiberglass might be more rigid?
