They are hoping for Friday the weather is crap and they decided they will have to ruin the original skirt to make them In other words we had to buy replacement skirts to make these o well as long as we are making progress now...

Christmas comes a day early this year guys!

The back needs a little work and will be addressed before it's completed but the front looks awesome. I'm SO stoked and can't wait to put these on my car and Jonny says I have to wait until we fill everyone's order. (sad face)

For your viewing pleasure.

Looks great guys! Is the OEM skirt hard to get off? I asume it just bolts (or screws) on underneath the car. I've never looked that close and is hard to see without putting it on a lift.

We'll get to that but we want to concentrate on getting these done first. Gotta start somewhere right?

Rudy, are we going to smooth/blend the bottom sides of them? The sharp angles on them dosent flow as nicely as the photosop version. The rear also drops a little on the photoshop model. Compare the proto withe the photoshop and you will see what I mean.

How do the jack points fit with the frame? Will we need to put spacers in there so the jack point mount like current and can be used? I am good with that, just trying to get the whole picture.

I really like the sharp angles, it goes perfectly with the creases in the fender even more so than my photoshop!!!

I say keep it, we're looking to match that front fender as much as possible, its the whole reason why I did the photoshop to begin with, I thought that crease and the skirt were perfect for each other. take that creast away and you got nothin.

Mayaman, I am only talking about the underside of the back one. I is a sharp V on the proto and the photoshop is sharp on top and rounder smooth underneath. I actually like that little step at the back on the photoshop better but I see how the flow works with not having it on the car. I also like how the photshop version has a little drop at the back.
