Rear Wheel Skirt

OK so its late and works been busy. off soon. Here are the pics for the wheel skirts. The metal piece is strip of hanging brace for airducts or pipes for homes, etc. Cut to length for the panels and kinda stitched threw at the ends for the excess. Its also tapped/stapled together along the metal to the plastic to keep it from wobbling around.

The first picture is the front of the panel(closer to nose of car), you can kinda make out that its been bent just so, to form a clamp around the body flange of the wheel well.

The second pic, is the Rear of the panel(closer to bumper), this piece just sticks out and bends behind the body so that end of the panel does not flop outwards.

Third is to show the amount of curve and gap there is between the wheel and panel. About 2.5" at the widest, and around the tire walls about 1"...

The rest of the panel is more just sandwiched to the body, and a couple layers of tape to hold in place.

EDIT: Before i hop off here... Been wondering about the rear Black (mudguards?) in second pic... Keep or toss? Not sure how much of use or interference these cause.
