Geo metro skirts and other areodynamic additions (available commercially?)

Hi,
New to the group.
Wondering if anyone knows of aftermarket aerodynamic items that can be purchased for a Geo Metro 1991, particularly front and rear skirts, perhaps a Kammback, front end, etc.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts
David

I'll build whatever you want... for a fee.

You can purchase parts and build them yourself. (In other words, no, you can't go out and buy a kammback.)

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your response. You mentioned that you could build parts for a fee. I am not adverse to this idea. What is your experience at building skirts and kammback, particularily for Geo Metro?
Best

Like most here, I've made skirts and whatnot of coroplast. It's quick and dirty, and often looks that way too.

I've made sheet metal and fiberglass parts before too, not necessarily aero parts but still.

Basically there is not much for commercially available aero parts; you might find some nice flat OEM hubcaps, perhaps a nice OEM deep airdam, and things of that nature, but for skirts, grille blocks, mirror delete plates, and rear end stuff like boat tails, kamm tails, and aero spoilers, they would probably need to be fabbed up.
