Haha. No I stopped posting at where I figured most DIY guys would stop. If you have the equipment to spray you probably also know how. But I will be painting them soon. I have a Jeep in the shop for insurance, so I haven't had much time to do my own stuff. I'll post some pics when everything's together.

with regards to what you did to your sideskirts...how many total hours do you think you spent==cutting/fiberglass/molding and paint.


im having trouuble with a kit i got from a member , i forwarded your diy to the body shop and they esay its gonna take em a week.

( theyve had my car for almost a month now...the sideskirts were really bad...and they were planning to mold the whole thing..which i really didnt want to happen good thing i found your link)

any pics of the skirts done painted or the whole car itself?

Dang. Forgot about the thread. I got everything finished up. I just have a cell phone pic. I'll try to upload it. I haven't had the time to finish mounting the skirts though. My fuel pump wiring had been messing up and I had the whole car apart tracing wiring.

A little late now, but I probably have 8-10 hours or so in the bodywork and 2 in paint.

If we ever meet I'll buy you a beer for sticking this project out. But I'll be amazed if anyone ever follows in your footsteps lol.
