Put the Taurus skirts on,

[stevofthahill]

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.

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 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.

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.

Badass, the car looks amazing man. Love the skirts.

I was checking out your DIY and I was wondering about the rear end cap. Are the 2 screws just barely screwed into the side skirt? If so, seems to me like the end cap wouldn't stay on very well.

Please give us the COMPLETE story. How did you think up doing this? How did you install them? Etc.

I got the idea from Teaguer, he suggested it. I wasn't all that convinced either till I saw the pic of the red car.

I subbmitted a post for the DIY, and a few posts up I have a link to the post on e30tech.

I wonder if you can just walk into a ford dealer and get a set of those new for like $100.

Yeah you probably could spend more than at a junkyard.

I think they look great. I wasn't into side skirts but these are so subtle... I may do it.

Please give us the COMPLETE story. How did you think up doing this? How did you install them? Etc.

I think there is some wierd cosmic connection between Ford's and E30's. The Mustang Koni rear adjusts are the ones for the E30, and other things. I kinda think of a E30 as germanys bad ass Muscle car/mustang. Every now and then these similarities pop up... OK, I'll put the bong down.

clear daytime pics would be best!

I tried submitting one last night. When I clicked submit it said it had to be reveiwed or something.

I posted it on E30 tech: http://www.e30tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43736

Well, that settles it. Looks like I'm going to the junkyard this weekend!

Could you fill us in on how/where you trimmed them, and how you mounted them? BTW, for your DIY thing, email that to me at eurospeed88@gmail.com, and I'll see what I can do about getting it ready and posted.

Man, those do look great.

I keep looking at the same era Explorer skirts, the ones on the "Sport" model 2 door POS. The little flare at the end would look great on an E30...but I haven't even measured the length yet.

Way back in the 80's, my brother and me (he was and is a professional bodyman) built some goofy looking crap. We did front, rear and side skirts from an mid 80's mustang on a "1st gen" Accord hatch...it was hilarious!

Now all you need is a similar look in rear valence...gotta be a plastic bumper somewhere you can rape! I wonder how the Z24 Cavalier rear skirt would look...
