I modeled them from how they were done on the Aerocivic [they tilt outwards if the tires push on them]. I used the pleats of the choroplast as hinges and employ two bungy cords per fairing [front and rear] to keep them closed. I also afforded myself some extra clearance by using narrower 155/80R13 tires on 5" wide wheels. I make a conscience effort to plan my moves to avoid sharp turns. This is not an every day car. I wouldn't bother with these for my daily driver. These are just to get that [hopefully] big number in competition.
