Default Little winter project: Teaser



Started working on these a few weeks ago. Needed a little more aggressive side skirt and didn't feel like shelling out the money for BN type II. Still have lots and lots of work to do but thought some might find this little mock up pic insteresting

Those look like the BN type 1 skirts to me. I have pondered over this stuff for almost a year now. On the type 1 skirt i think if you found a way to push the bottoms of vertex skirts out they would look close.

This fiberglass work is tricky. Right now I am trying to find a sturdy way toattach the two pieces so where theflare meets the vertex skirt does not crak all the time

It going to be hard to find rear skirt or bumper to match the aggressiveness. Nothing fiberglassing won't solve!! Good luck!

I actually have a rear bumper lip that is extremely aggrassive. It was an old VIS one and is one of the main reasons for me making these skirts
