ARCH or Strafe still alive?

I'm in the market for an nice front bumper and impul style side skirts and was wondering if either of these vendors are still around. I've been posting in the vendors section but I'm getting no responses. I want to give you my hard earned money for your product!! Thanks

Can you recommend a vendor that has a good rep and isn't impossible to get a hold of? Been trying to contact R1 Autoworks with no luck.

Well i attempted to JB Weld the prongs from the OEM skirts onto the Impuls and use the OEM grommets in the door jam. That was a complete waste of time and money. The prongs broke off when i pulled the skirt off after test fitting. The Nismo front bumper fit pretty darn good though. Minor shaving of flange that the fenderliner gets tucked behind. I still have a 1/4" gap under one of the headlights im trying to get rid of. Also the 3M tape doesnt want to keep the skirts flush wit the car and im about ready to give up and let the body shop guy work his magic and get reamed by a fatty bill when he's done lol. I'll post some pics when i borrow my bros camera.

I am still here. Sorry if I don't respond on same day. You can always shoot me a email. I tend to take off on wknd from forum.

In the poly impul skirts you need to use self drilling screws in the door jamb. Only way. It's almost impossible to get anything to stick to the poly
