Default Made my own sideskirts...
Not too difficult...will post a DIY later if enough interest...

Highlights: $65 invested, several hours of fabrication, car now looks slammed, prototype...would make a few small changes next time, PlastiDipped, doubles as rocker protection...

Car looks great! Please post DIY as I've been looking to do something similar both as a front splitter and as side skirts.

Looks real good.
I wonder how the plastidip will hold up in this high traffic area though.
