Default A little DIY....Please don't flame...i was trying to be creative and save money

I am in the process of redoing the exterier of my DA so i decided to make some sideskirts with some random materials. Its my attempt to make "Mugen" knockoff skirts. Its ghetto, but it was worth a try


With a little fiberglass, resin, body filler, and other misc. materials, i made these

Here is one end in the raw stages






the other end coming along



the other sideskirt, pretty much finished







And when its on the car



I tried to have them wrap into the door sills as well just so it doesn't look to bad.







If it was all one color, i think it will come out decent. The car is being sanded down at the moment, and hopefully have a fresh coat of Black on it soon

to you. I tried to put the G3 sides on my DA and just ran out of patience and got tired of cutting. Those look like they fit well.
