I was planning on painting the skirts flat black after I get them all sorted out. I don't want the mods to really stick out and I don't think this coroplast is UV stable. |
You basically have the heavy duty version of my old truck. I stopped at the engine, but some of my belly pan construction techniques could be useful:

Description
The running boards are likely not as bad as you think. Some studies have shown that they behave similarly to having side skirts. Plus it gives you something to mount your belly pan on.
My black coroplast on my Civic has been installed three years now. While it's slightly faded, it's still pliable and not getting brittle. I'm not sure if all coroplast is like that.
