Wheel skirts, check!

Got wheel skirts in “final” phase and mounted... I was inspired by the post in the wheel disc thread about putting a piece of pipe behind the opening and screwing the coroplast to it, so that’s what I did.

I cut two pieces off my big coil of 3/4” HDPE water pipe and screwed it to the inner fender (also through the lip on the plastic quarter panel, bumper cover, and dogleg... no visible screw holes if I remove the mod, good enough for me)

Then, I screwed the (painted black) skirts to the pipe... I guess I’ll need to carry a Phillips screwdriver with me for tire changes but since I no longer possess a good spare that’s of little consequence at the time being...
