That's the pipe I used for bending the anodized aluminum bars that reinforce the bottom of the skirts, creating an "arch" of sorts around the tires.

The lawn edging curbing where you get that at HOME depot /wally world/lowe??
Are their size/width choices.???
On install (for example) front end vehicle lower lip area you just used screw/wsher combo??
Thank for your post
I just bought what was available at Home Depot, or maybe my Denault's TruValue. I did shorten it a bit because it was slightly too low. The ridges the material comes with make great mounting points... you'll see. For attachment I just driled the bumper cover and used some used screws I had laying around. CHEAP! Works quite well.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
