    Early and late model convertible difference?

    Is there a difference between early and late model convertibles on side skirts? I know that wheel wells are different for early and late models. Looking at getting these but I have an early model. Not sure if the skirts would still line up the same or not with the wheel wells.




    Any comments would be appreciated!

    Actually all convertibles have the lower rear arches. Convertible specific skirts will fit any year.
