Custom Sideskirt idea
So, I came up with this idea of a custom sideskirt that can be built using the stock sideskirt. Gonna try to model something soon, but here's a photoshop of the idea I have:



Lemme know what you guys think. It might be cool if I can make something that would just rivet over the OEM skirt, could have a raw racing-style look to it like Libertywalk or Rocket Bunny.

It's reallyyy subtle, and probably won't be too hard to make. But it adds just enough to give it that racy look.

It would be cool as a trim piece that can be installed with some 3M foam tape. Painted or CF.

yeah, I think it would have to be painted. If it was CF, then there needs to be a matching piece at the other end to keep the flow of the look. Else, it'll look weird I think.

I like it. Maybe if you didn't have a lip, add that same design to the front and back of the side skirts, and also to the front and rear bumpers to make it flow. You should photoshop that.

Those parts are going to be replaced, so I am not going to bother right now. Will try to come up with something for the front and sides if this works out. Just gonna try to see this through first and work my way from there.
