A little help with wheel skirts?
 

I have a couple pics of the backside and rear driver's side corner of Cara, was wondering if someone could remove the bumper cover and replace it with a rollpan which is integrated with wheel skirts.

I suck at PhotoChop. Please?

I want full wheel skirts that match the body, but wrap around the rear as a rollpan, deleting the rear bumper.

Oo.. a Kammback would be sweet, too.

Bumpers are there for safety... but if you don't care about it, you can easily just drill into it to hold anything else in place. And yes, a kammback would be sweet!

My original inspiration was a MS Paint file I made out of sheer boredom earlier today... it's crappy, but gets the general idea.

I know what the bumper is there for... but I never said anything about removing the bumper.

wah wah... I guess I misread... you can still drill into a bumper cover to attach, and see if you get the benefits you are looking for before you go about building something potentially more expensive and elaborate.

I'm not sure how a piece of sheet metal replacing the bumper cover is going to be expensive or elaborate... you know what a roll-pan is? I want to get rid of the huge protrusion from the rear of Cara... she's got a big enough ass in those jeans as it is.

I'm thinking square off the columns, maybe, to encourage separation (I don't really know this aero stuff)? Oh, and ob skirts

Gimp is your friend :)

I had gimp... but I didn't really do to well with it either.

I really want to see those skirts worked in with a roll pan though. And the door handles deleted, along with the plastic trim line along the side... I actually want to get rid of just about everything that's plastic on the outside.

Did you know in PA, I can legally delete both outside mirrors? I'm not going to, but I can, if I really wanted to. I drive to NY state alot, though, so I'd have to look around and find out if it's legal up there.

The skirt looks better than I thought it would, I'll admit that.

I don't think I'm going to do any major body modifications, perse, like squaring the trailing edges, but I do want to check out a kammback extension. Since it would be so high, length wouldn't really be an issue at all.

It will work great in Photoshop or whatever, but in real life the wheel and tire extend too far outside of plane of the body panels, especially as the panel curves inward at the bottom.
