Taurus side skirts - modification and installation

[dgdavidson]

Finally got around to working on this.

Are these skirts straight across the top edge or is my set bowed a little?

It probably would if it weren't for that switch/latch at the front. Doesn't match anything else in the car.

Actually, I thought about painting that the same color as the pleather but that switch performs a very cool function in that it allows access to either a top tray or a deeper bottom storage area depending on where it's set to before being opened.

Mine were very slightly bowed, but if you mount them on the sides, not just underneath, it should straighten out and fit correctly. These are meant for other cars, remember, so it's not 100% fitment, though very close.

Does this one look any better? ;)

you know i gotta admit i like the cup holder idea, if i could manage to make it flush up more to look OE i might do this...though i would shift it forward more and put another one behind it for dual cup holders :D

I actually just picked up a husco tractop for $35, so my Probe one's out. That console looks like it fits a lot better than mine did, because mine was rounded. The tractop looks sooooo much better ;)

I think this skirts look better on sedans, than coupes and cabbies.

And this post is the longest none-scence. It was way cooler when 2-3 cars had them, now it's trend, with ethics, and consoles.

I might have to spend a day at the junk yard fitting honda parts.

i wouldn't exactly think of the word "cut" in a barbaric sense
instead consider it professionally sculpting .

hey old pal :)

so, they do look very low, perhaps if you color match front loer lip.
can you post a pic with out them at same spring hight ?

Its weird how the Taurus skirts only look right on certain colors

agree with you! maybe they only look good on dark colored cars.

white does not look good at all

sho skirts are very different than regulars, they end up being wider but cut towards the inside sharply at 90 degrees to match the claddings on the doors.

Anyone know where I can get a set of these in Vancouver B.C.?

[Schnitzer318is]

so where are more sable skirt mounted e30's?

Here's my set... Excuse the bodywork and paint, all done by me and these things were in TERRIBLE condition. Didn't help that our PnP puts wheels right under the skirts of these things. These were the only 2 I could pull off from different cars, and probably the worst condition in the yard. I am happy with the result though for ~$75 including buying the spray gun, mask, and compressor fittings. I think they'll look really good with the addition of a rear apron.
