Side Skirts DIY Fabrication :

Side Skirts DIY Fabrication :

Hourra! The Belly Pan is complete. We wanted to put some side skirts for long time now. And yesterday, we made some. It is made of coplast and duct tape.

Some Pictures :
(The metal stick goes into the center belly pan to hold the skirt)
(Here is the center belly pan, I know you think it sticks out, but it is to hold the skirt)


(Here is the side Skirt in fabrication)






The Side skirt is now covered with duct tape to be gray.

Are you getting some warmer weather yet?

Your fuel economy is going to jump through the roof when winter is gone and you don't suffer from its effects.

Yes, effectively we gat like 1-5°C all this week so yes FE is important, but we need to remove some part of the grille block too

Replacing the winter tires for the summer one will also help alot the FE.

Congratulations!

I'm still worried about removing mine; I tried to find out what the law in Quebec says about side mirrors, but I couldn't find anything...

Have you found what the official law says?
