Found out about these mini-skirts
Solus - Mini-Skirt
Here's a pdf

On a 16wheeler, these mini-skirts are suppose to be the equivalent of
a longer single skirt, but with a lot more ground clearance.
So, could some PVC gutter be used at a smaller scale? Like on my CRV?
(I do like the idea of not loosing any of my ground clearance)!
Raw stock. 10 feet long and not really what I wanted. It would have been
better if it had two identical vertical walls.. But, it was cheap..
Test fit in white.
After painting, they are hard to see. (Notice, you can still see the exhaust system. The lowest point).
I made them 5 feet long and kept the forward end clear of the jack-point.
Made a small cut-out on the inside of the rear, since it overlapped the rear jack-point. I also pushed them towards the inside a few inches, so they wouldn't stick out under the doors. The outside wall is about dead center on the tire thread.
I put square 1/4" thick aluminum washers (2"x1.2") between the gutter and car. This keeps the gutter from deforming / pulled up into the depression where threaded holes are (side-tube holes).
They don't weight much, easy to mount using exiting side-tube bolts, look like they are part of the car, so my wife likes them..
I'm wondering how I'm going to test them?? Maybe I'll just wait until I get the mini-boat-tail attached..
