89 crx hf skirt re re

Hey cerxcerx I made one skirt today out of the white paint booth panel I had made a frame out of the fence stayes but after I shaped the sheet metal it seemed plenty strong by itself, I went flush in the front and on top but took your advice and over laped the bumper cover so it is just a snug over lap that can slide if the bumper goes in or out it is already in about 1/2" or so so I could see first time I bumped it, it would crumple the skirt, so I mounted it with2 brakets, and metric screws, and fender type speed nuts, then the tail springs against the bumper cover, will try to find some flush head allen screws later to dress or hide it up the stripe is 3 pieces elec tape for now till I get some sign vinale, the bottom is under coating and I will probably regret that when I sand it off later I didnt have any black paint and I wanted to see it two tone before dark, well I'll try to load a couple of pics, it says they are to big ?

Nice Going

Like the skirts! Nice job. How far are they away from the tire? They look very close. My skirts on my car are 1/4" away. I figured tighter is better.

When I pull my skirts off I will post pics as well. I've got more body work to do on it before it gets painted.
