they are smoothed and painted oem arch trims. people have reported between $600 and $1500 for having all arch trims removed, smoothed, prepped, painted and installed.

Contact Way Motor Works. They pre-paint them in factory colors, and ship 'em out to you. They look amazing too. Just check out wetceal's car.

They are REALLY reasonably priced too!

Can you send a link... I am looking at WMW's website and can't find the prepainted arches. Maybe I am just missing it. Any idea on price? Thanks.

Sorry guys I'm in the middle up getting the new website together and don't have the arches listed. I have shipped out several sets of these. I currently have a set of Laser Blue and Lightning Blue ready to go.

The sets are Brand new arches that have been sanded, preped, primed, painted and cleared and are a smooth finish.

Feel free to call or email with questions.

Hey, Way. Do you guys do painted arches and trim for a car without the HyperSport kit (fenders, rockers, bumpers)? Or is this not possible without sending new bumpers?

I have no idea if Way offers any of the other pieces but I would think he should if he didn't because there's probably quite a few people interested in painted JCW pieces.

I just sent a PM to them a few days ago to ask about a set of the JCW painted side skirts. Haven't heard anything back though.

Hey WAY MOTORWORKS, check your PMs!!!

My understanding is that the arches only... if you don't have the Hypersport kit then we are all out of luck.... I am currently looking at the JCW kit...

What's the trick to removing the fender arches? I thought I saw a explanation a couple weeks ago but couldn't search it out. Thanks.

What is the "HyperSport Kit" that has been referenced? Is it the formal name for the factroy aero kit, or something else?

Looks great. Painting flares and the skirts is one of the things to do on my list. It is always nice to see how it does look when painted.
