Default Got side skirts installed? show me the underside...

Thinking of getting into side skirts this season, but I need to see how they cover the rocker panel underneath. The only pics I've ever seen are from the exterior, but I need to verify the jacking capabilities with my 4 post lift....anyone ever take some pics from underneath?

plenty of space if not covered by the frame rails. I have seen some not cut out at all and the owner has to cut around the opening under car , I have seen some by apsis that they are cut out , plenty of clearance for jack pucks if you do not have the rails also.

thanks...that's the kind of info I need here...can't believe the vendors don't show how the skirts fit for each respective product offering....I would hate to buy on faith and find i can't raise the car without fixing a design flaw.

Mine have cutouts for jacking. They are too small for a hockey puck but I have something else that works fine.
