Nope. I liked the look when Chrysler started doing that with the 200 and then the Viper and refreshed Charger and decided to copy it. The reflectors are actually from a 200.

Just finished cutting out the wheelskirts from PVC sheet. I traced the arches yesterday onto newspaper to make a template, and picked up some aluminum door sills to use as the bottom edge reinforcement. The skirts will go all the way to the rear edge of the bumper cover so they won't have to bend back abruptly and risk airflow separation.
