there is a dude in colorado who seems pretty dang cool...i asked him a few questions and he had a few good answers. anyway, he has these twisty's for sale. modification will probably be required. they are off of a 1995 m3 coupe. cosmo schwartz just wanted to throw it out there and see if someone was interested. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1674997 __________________

Why would you need to modify them?
Those will be a direct fit. All e36's (except z3) use the same side skirts...
Sean, all you would need is a mounting template for drilling the mounting holes and the mounting hardware (clips and snap-ins)... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

People have had issues with aftermarket skirts not fitting, but OEM seem to fit fine. Mine came from a M3 coupe (Thanks Marv17!) partout... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Purchased a set of twisty side skirts today. they should be here next week some time.
I need a template in order to mount them. Does anyone here have one I can barrow for a few days? I can pay shipping to and from and treat the template like it were my own.
TIA,
Sean __________________

LOL Next, I'll need to buy the clips and snap-ins that James mentions. I would like to have these painted and mounted before the Spring meet sessions kick up. somehow, it'll all work out.  __________________

Back in January I sent money to a dude in Utah for a set of these Twisty Side Skirts. A few weeks later he complained about the weather and refunded my money. Today I met a dude with a fresh M3 sedan part-out and purchased his skirts. They are silver and in great shape. So, game on!    Test fit...not attached yet. __________________

Nice! Sean, let us know what you needed to do to install yours. I picked up a set of green twisties last month, that is low on the project list just now, but I can order all the needed clips, fasteners, so on in advance. Cheers! __________________
