Also, you can use a heat gun to mold plexiglass and lexan. I saw you used clamps which probably worked fine, but if you get it in the shape you want and heat it up, it will kind of conform permanently to that new shape.

Those look very nice BTW and has inspired me to do the full moon hubcaps and then rear skirts on my civic hatch.
Looking at the rocker panel,it seems like they've extended the panel downas low as they dare before it strikes the tire sidewall.If the rocker panels were more flush with the outer face of the tires,they could have continued them down as with their C-111 III of 1978.
