Well, just thought I would toss up some pics of the dry fitting of the skirts and the rear valance.
I am kinda torn about molding the rear skirt onto the rear bumper. It would definitely look better, but its a lot of work. I will probably repaint the entire car next year, so I think I will leave it un-molded for now and if I feel the need, do it next year when the whole car gets repainted.
The erebuni fiberglass rear skirt is actually pretty close. I had to do some sanding and fitting that took about 2 hours (I am very picky), but it seems to be fitting pretty well. The skirts are friggin heaven. They are direct replacements of the stock skirts.
Rhino lined the back of both the skirts and rear valance to give them better strength, especially since they are fiberglass. Will post more as I make progress...

Rhino Lining? WHO gave you that stupid idea?
...
.....
LOL
Let me know how much it cost and how it turns out afterwards. Did you just get black?

Yep, yo da Mang Jer!! Totally got the idea from you!!
Well, its not true rhino lining. I got the duplicolor truck bed lining from Autozone. Made a HUGE difference. No joke, the skirts are actually pretty damn thin. Thin enough to worry about. So I got two cans and put about 3/4 of each can on the skirts and the rest of each can on the rear skirt. Now they feel much more supported on their own. Just got plain old black.
We'll see about molding them in. If I do, does anyone have suggestions on how far I go up on the bumper and down on the skirt? So far it looks like they are just gonna get some paint and get molded later, but you never now, I get very spontaneous sometimes. LOL!!

demon-wolf. I feel you man. I really wish I was seein' you guys getting your skirts on right along side with me. 02.gif It still feels a little strange handling these originals knowing that they're the last of their kind.
