SIDE SKIRTS

Hey guys, im about to buy side skirts. The two im looking at are made by DURAFLEX, made of fiberglass, plastics and flex resins and about 240 shipped. And the other is by VIS RACING which is made of fiberglass and about 100 more bucs. Both are the same in apperance. Any one have experience with these. thanks

Good question I was wondering the same myself. Additional question, what do you do about the bumper covers? Will it look uniform?

I would go with the former. I would put NOTHING on our cars that is fiberglass. You're just asking for trouble as they WILL eventually crack and break on you.

Anything plastic is best...
