Just an update. Skirts are holding up great! The are very secure and solid feeling. No screws have fallen out, and I scraped on a large speed bump, and didn't even phase them.

Great DIY, Love the creativity of homebrew parts.
Liked that you made able to work with factory mud flaps We have created something similar to this for guys that don't run factory mud guards: FRS/BRZ CS style Side Skirt Extensions (Polyurethante) Here it is installed: |

Nice plug haha. I pretty much modeled mine after yours though. If I had the money I would have picked some up, might get one of your lips eventually.

Great work @ML! This is exactly what I want for mine, and I have the tools to do it. Not crazy about drilling holes in the car though. Hmmm.
By the way, you could do a lip the same way, it would just take more labor to create the shape and secure it.

I wanted to make my own splitter as well, but I can't find a good source of aluminium.

@ML looks great - any worries of rust developing where you had those holes drilled?

Pretty neat, not something I would have thought of, but the result is very nice.
Did you only have the shop rout the edge? For the thickness, I would imagine it would be simple to run through a planer to reduce the thickness and remove the wood texture from the one side. Once I get some free time in a few weeks, I might do this. Even if I never put it on the car, I just enjoy making things. |
