  • sideskirt option

    so...







    if they were shortened they would fit perfect.

    they are off a 97-98 s14 kouki... making them almost as rare as the fms skirts

        I had a parts car with cavalier Z24 (the boxy stlye) side skirts, it looked pretty decent, although the skirts themselves were beat up pretty good

        If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            Yeah, the ones I got were damaged but it worked out since they had to be cut to fit anyway. I wanted to add the original end cap piece to the back where it was cut but that was the part that was missing when I bought them. Still looks good, but could be made to look even better!

                  I think they are needed on a festy if you're in any way trying to make the car look nicer. They hide that ugly seam along the bottom of the car, and in my case hid a nice size dent on the rocker panel

                    Plus, depending on how low they are, pass air around the car and not under it. TFATF sideskirts are heavy and actually impede the airflow. Pointless. Well designed, low-profile skirts do help your streamlinedness.

                      well to be honest i saw this thread at work, now that i see the pics of the hulk it actually makes it look really clean

                      my bad.

                      actually which year of contour and how much did it take to work and fit them? did they need to be cut?

                      i mean length wise did they need to be cut?

                        Yes a large chunk. Maybe 6+ inches. Lane cut his from the end (skirt was banged up there). But yes it will definitely need to be cut. It would be pretty easy to cut from the middle as well.

                          Yep, either way would work but the easiest option is to cut from the end and slap 'em on! For a nice finished look you might want to glass/plastic weld the end cap back on
