| I was heading to pickup my daughter at school today and a white woodie RMW passed me with fender skirts on it... Looked pretty neat... Anyone else see any? | |

| I think I have a pic of a sweet CC with skirts, I just have about 5 hard drives to dig through. I will post it if I find it. |

| I've been looking at the few that pop up on ebay I think it would look nice on my 93 but depens on the rims and tires that I end up going with | |

That's because it's done right IMO! If you didn't have a custom like that it might look pretty cheezy! Remember it's only my opinion OK! | |

| Something to consider on a RMW is the stainless belt line moulding. There would be a gap where the wheel arch is.
Would look very cool if done right on a lowered car. Always liked them on that white custom cruiser in the second picture.

I really liked that one too. That car was one that also made me start to like 2 tone paint jobs. If I recall, he wasn't very happy with the skirts for fitment. - I don't think he kept them. | |

Derek Lewis the ones that come up on ebay for the RMW have a section of stainless trim so there is no gap. | |

| i,d like to make a set up for the blue car,. but the car would look stock with them on, removed it,d have a wheel well opening like a sedan,. this would be to accomodate some large rubber for "spirited driving off the line,.

Well Pat, that sounds very interesting. I think you should get a set and let us know how they fit. How else am I gonna steal another one of 'your' ideas? | |

| i have a set of those, they need a little finesse to get them to fit. the problem i have now is that i shaved my trim and now they don't fit flush. anyone know where i can get a set of skirts without the raised area to match the trim? | |

| you can remove the the raised portion then do a fiberglass repair, it's an easy mod to preform on the skirts. Besides those skirts were a lot of work to get to fit right and to smooth out. but the end results were worth the effort  | |
