    I just went to the junkyard on my lunch and got a pair, a fucking PAIR for $8.50. They are in perfect shape, too. They took about 10 minutes to pull. There's about 10 more sets out there, too. Anyone want some? :D

    Jex, the cap on the end is held on (on the Taurus) by 2 big plastic expanding screws, so is the rest of the skirt. But when you put them on your car, you could use any hardware you want, and reinforce them if you see fit.

      I think i may look into doing this. Cause i need to go back to the junk yard anyway, for some misc. stuff. Thanks for the OP for the little write up and thanks Josh for telling us they are easy to get off of the car.

        This is some great info! I remember seeing the red car sometime ago and thought they looked good. Now that I see just how simple it is to retrofit, I may try this myself. I just sux that salvage yards around here usually try to overprice things....I'd say I'll end up having to pay $50 for the pair (which is still relatively cheap I guess).

          I agree those look ridiculously good, and you can't beat the price at all. So where in AZ are you located? Like Devon said, you should definitely try to make it out to a euro-meet.

              I definitely could. Let me measure them tonight when I get home and I'll figure out what shipping them will cost.

                      Man that does look good. I like it when people come up with ideas like this.

                      My buddy showed me a 190 that had hundai side skirts and fender flares on it. It looked almost identical to the 16v 190 skirts and flares.

                      I was going to do the same thing, just get a bunch of skirts and stuff at the junk yard off various cars and see what fit and looked good, but I ended up selling my e30.

                                thank you for the pics in the day. IT looks better in the day shots than the first ones. Nice touch!
