Aero'd 07 Aveo

I'd like to know how you attached the wheel skirts.

Nice work, Will. Nobody I know has asked me to mod their cars for them.

FYI for those looking for one (of several) skirt mounting methods, I made brackets out of flattened and bent copper pipe for mine that didn't require drilling the lip of the wheel arch (out of concern for rust). They look like this:



And they attach like this:

That's what I was thinking. Those rear wheel skirts are *stunning*.

Solution ... Perfected.

I would if you were closer

That's a really good idea Darin... I really have to put a rubber gasket around my mounts (and my friends'). Even though none of the parts I used will ever rust, I still have to be concerned about the well eventually rusting. Any wise ideas about what I can do to the back side of the metal screw-punctured areas? Maybe some marine caulk?

I'd like to know how you attached the wheel skirts.

I explained it in harrowing detail a couple posts ago, but a picture is worth a thousand words I guess. Here's a photo from when I did it to my civic. That aluminum band I'm holding goes right where it looks like it should go. The holes in each side of it are threaded. To put the skirt on, puncture the coroplast skirt directly above where those threaded holes are, and screw it right in. Very simple.

HAH! pay the airfare and I'll be there, coroplast in hand.

Nice job on the skirts. A lot like how I did mine except I had 2 brackets at the top and I tied those brackets to the bottom strip.

Yeah mine were slowing me down for whatever reason, but they seem to work for most cars so hopefully you see a small gain.
