Default Side skirts doing work!

Check out these new pictures of my side skirts doing work. Pretty cool to see how they deflect the water.

Stop driving! Think of the 2nd owner he wants the car with low mile.

Great to hear people driving their cars. Mine is at 10K now.

next owner will need to have the title rebuilt now... nice job.

(funny I mock those people as how I would never willfully take mine out in rain lol. but this is my fun in the sun car only. I have a car and trucks for daily driving and they're not bad at all.)

I have other car and truck also too.

I am glad there are people out there that never drive their cars thou. In 2010 I bought an 2006 Z06 with only 1143 miles on it. I promptly put 12,000 miles on it in the 1st 10 months I owned it. haha. and of course paid bottom dollar for a basically brand new car.

thanks all for the compliments on the pictures. Hopefully next time I have a chance to get some rolling shots the sun is out so you can see the true colors of my car and not its no sun grey color!!!

And like the water shown in your picture, they do a great job of keeping rocks from hitting my rear brake vents.
