New Side Skirt design

Just a photoshop mock-up but I will get to work on these soon

Im working on a rear bumper skirt that follows the lines on these.

 

I am not feeling the love for this design. It looks more like mini running boards than a side skirt. I do really like most of your other designs for other parts though.

 

Tone it down a little by reducing the size, and then change the angle down a bit and see what that does.....

 

Probably gonna get flamed for this, but why not just reproduce the design "the one who will not be named" is flogging on E-bay? Just do a quality job manufacturing them. I saw them on John's car @ the Dragon and they really do compliment the car.

 

Go look at the zr-1 sideskirts. If you could do them exactly like that, I'd be interested.

Just make sure they dont drop the side bodyline of the car more than about an inch because it just looks goofy when you've got this low sideskirt and the front and rear bumpers are 2-3" above the sideskirts.

 

I was going for something close to the zr1 skirts. i dont know if its possible to get that same design around the bottom of the rear wheels. the crossfire body doesnt turn in as much as the vette's does

in order for it to not look goofy im designing a rear bumper skirt and front bumper lip(N/A only). Front bumper lip will look very similar to the SRT6 design

 

those were a complete replacement, not an add-on which was why they were so difficult to manufacture. this design sticks onto to the existing skirt...we all discussed the difference when the "idiot" snuck in there and destroyed a good idea...no flaming, but it didn't work out because of the hack job of an "outsider"....this kid is putting up his own $$$$ and working to bring it to us...good for him...

 

Ah, add on OK gotcha. Very impressed with the strakes and rear spoiler suggestions.

 

Sorry I should have mentioned its an add on in the first thread.

 

Steve and I were talking about this EXACT thing today at the car show... We saw ZR1 skirts and wondered "what if"...

I think in conjunction with the front and rear add-ons, it would look mint.

Keep me posted.

 

Photoshoping a design is the easiest part of this undertaking. Getting them built with high quality to fit on every Xfire will be your biggest challenge. I wish you success in your endeavor and look forward to watching the development.

 

I'm getting tired of reading sideskirt post. I'm going to make my own. Squirrel Crusher

 

Being in the charlotte area, I wouldn't think it would be hard for you to find a fabricator...but somehow, nascar skirts wasn't what I had in mind....lol

 

Yep!! I'm going to do it! Something simular to the shortie Mazda RX-8 sideskirt's,but full length. Squirrel Crusher

 

I have experimented a lot with the side skirts. I was looking at '03 viper skirts/w/side pipes for awhile...but, biggest problem is the construction of the side/body panels. Not much room, and anything you add, seems to stick out too far. I have laid some other aftermarket skirts that stick on, up there as well, and just haven't found the right look. Good luck with it...I have all but given up...

 

Heres a new design. Just a little different. I tried to take it in a bit in the front and added a section in the rear going up the inside of the wheel well. Inspired by the new ZR1 corvette

This will be what I have produced.

Ill work on getting a front view to see the detail around the rear fender

 

heres a front view:

 

You should think of all the dirt and gravel that will sit on that ledge, and tough to clean off as well.

I think it has to rounded and flowing, or it looks like a truck accessory.

 

That was my thoughts.... Every time I look at them, it reminds me of the running boards I had on my GMC Jimmy. Maybe I am just too old to get this as a design, but to me a body kit should flow with the existing lines and look like it could have come from the factory that way. This just looks out of place to me. No offense meant, but you may want to see how much interest there is in this design before you go too far. Most of your other ideas have many people excited.... I just don't see that same enthusiasm for this.

 

That was a very quick photoshopping job. Just to give the idea im going for. Im not that great on the program so its hard for me to get it just right


heres a pic of exactly what I will recreate.
