The side skirts are shorter this version and I've made them from my remaining stock of Coroplast (18x24). Ideally, I would've made them from a single piece but this version will work fine fer my needs. The shorter side skirts don't contact the speed bumps like the previous version. I'm not sure if the side skirt performance is measurable with my fuel data since I have a lot of new stuff.
The rear wheel skirt was made from two pieces. The top section stops right at the top of the side trim. The bottom section was made from a single sheet of 4'x4' Coroplast. They are reinforced on the outside with shelving brackets which was hand bent to match to clear the tires and to keep them from rubbing on the tires.
The rear wheel strakes were made from scrap galvanized air ducting. They are held in place with some wooden supports on the inside. I believe I posted that process in my belly pan thread.
