I don't see how. I clearly stated that I had already done most of the work. I mean, can you really blame me? I'm trying my hardest to keep another 4th gen from going to the junk yard. We have a small community as it is. You should be encouraging me, rather than yelling at me.

I haven't yelled at you once, I just think it's lame to look for a ghetto-fix for sideskirts when you have the capability to put factory ones on.

Well anyway. White87GT, do you know what I could use to mold the side skirts to the body? You could use some adhesive to get them to stick, and use fiberglass to mold them. when using the adhesive, be sure to clamp it to the body. Do this by wrapping the car with paper, rope, or something, and using blocks of wood and rags to press against the body panel to be held in place, and the paper or rope presses against the block to hold it all together.

By adhesive, I hope you mean epoxy. If you want totally custom side skirts, and you want to do it the hard way.. I do NOT reccomend you do a foam carve->FG mold dance like I did. Just clean the car really well, put a thin layer of FG down where you want the skirt to go, then build them up from scratch using foam and glass. Once done, take them back off (this is hard) and then epoxy them on to bare metal. Once epoxied you can then use body filler to smooth the seams out.
