if you do start making them
will you be making them for swb's or lwb's too?? as im hoping to change to a lwb in the summer and think they would look great on that 8)
You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

you might be better off packing the door runner out, the blue van has done that and so are the drw hi cubes - as least the arches can look there best!! 8)

ye the black spacer on my van is made from some type of resin so would be easy to make one up then its just a case of getting a engineering co to bend the runner slightly :D

i'd have an rs type of kit skirts/arches/bumper etc
IMHO the rs style kit is suttle but agressive at the same time if you were to do any other type then you run the risk of a "MARMITE" kit (you either love it or you hate it)

any idea on prices i think thats the only way that you'll sell it
