1/2’” foam insulation board with foil on one side and clear plastic on the other.
Use a High Strength spray can adhesive to glue multiple layers as needed and to adhere to the skirt. A knife, saw, coarse file, hand grinder and or hot wire cutter will all easily shape the foam. 1/2” foam board is easy to bend or twist. Glueing multiple layers on top of a bent or twisted layer makes it possible to keep bent and or twisted shapes from returning to their natural state. The foam is soft and semi rigid thus it won’t damage the wheel or your vehicle or anyone else’s should it fall off.

You can easily build wheel spats and more with it.

A 4’x8’x1/2” sheet of foam insulation board and a can of adhesive is less than $20.

For a example of what can be done with foam search “Boat tail Redneck style”.

If anything, it’s a cheap way to test mods before making them from a more durable material.
