ahhhh, cant fool ya'll for a sec. Well not exactly prototypes. They are a set of 2 1/2" skirt extensions that I'm making for my xB. The two sides are done, and the front one is nearly done. Next is the rear, then painting them blue. So far they look ****!!!

Ok, here is the next installment, finished the front air dam and test fitted it and the side skirts, I think they look pretty killer. Gave up on doing one for the rear, too much work and I couldnt decide what to do around the tail pipe anyway. So, I came up with something better, started on it after the pics were taken, but man it looked great. Welp hope to have more tomorrow, and oh yea, Joe, they are made out of .040" aluminum. See Ya, Louie


P.S. the wifey nixed the idea of canards....dang!!!!

dude Louie long time no see, and I can see you've used the time for some good use.. always coming up with something. Did you ever do the finishing on the rear disk brakes (connected e-brake and all that?) skirts look good and if it's aluminum sounds like it'll hold up on those damn towering speed bumps I keep finding..

Finally done....well for now. Still have to do some fine tuning, the rears are too long, they hit everything!!! I guess I'll do some finessing, and come up with a price if anybody is interested.

Here is a pic, if Imagestation ever comes back....Louie


....or try to copy and paste to internet explorer?
....or try to sign into imagestation.com and then try to view here?

Maybe give us the link to your imagestation folder - i tried searching in there under your screen name but couldn't pull anything up.

Hey - I saw your painted sideskirts at Exposed (actually beforehand at Spectrum) - they looked GREAT! Dude, let us know about pricing - can't get the pics to work but in person, painted, they were killer...
