Real wheel skirts.

bestmapman · 06-11-2008, 11:51 AM

Is anyone interested in getting in on the Prius Rear Wheel Skirts. Lyekka is going to fabridate some. She works with fiberglass and has access to making molds and the parts. It looks like they will be a 3 piece setup. Two pieces will be added to the front of rear bottom or the car to extend the body so the skirt will be straight and not bulge at the base of the wheel. She is going to make them so they will not alter the car and be reversible. She has not worked up a cost yet. She will reply here when she has a cost. Lyekka and myself are having them make regardless of the cost(well within reason). If others want them, she has indicated that she will make more. It is a onetime operation, so if you want them you better speak up now.

Please reply to this thread is you are interested.

I'll post a picture of what I envision them to look like shortly.

Certainly I am interested in finding out more. I'd love to have skirts that "fit the bill."

Here is a pic, I finally got it to work. It will be painted to the color you specify.
