Put the Taurus skirts on,

AC Schnitzer. Dude, you have been through enough front ends though! Haha.

I need to be a whore with something, with my last car it was wheels (14 sets in two years, 18 total over 8 years,) maybe this time it will be front air dams....hehe. :p






Anyway, I worked on the fitment of the rear apron today, I it got close, I think the first pic shows the extent of the damage from when the snow plow hit it, it shows in the shadow from the character line and along the top of the bumper.

and probably is best illustrated by the SUNLIGHT shining through the bumper.:oops:

Looks like I've got allot of work ahead of me before my repaint this winter. :curse:

I just installed mine. My paint is just about impossible to match, so I just sprayed it. They came out pretty flat grey, E36 318i style... The tape is also a bit exposed. All in all, they look ghetto now, but with a little finessing, I think they'll look great.

Any tips to gloss up the paint?

Yes yes, I know. Pictures curtesy of Nokia. I'll have a real shoot once I actually clean the car and figure out the skirts better. These are just temp (both the pics and the current state of the skirts)...






I also don't have endcaps in the back...

Here is a idea, you know how some e30 with NO skirts look so cool cause the front air dam is So much lower then the rest of the car? Hence, making the front of the car look like a brick wall?

What if you painted the bottom, just say inch or 2 of the skirts black? You'd get a "body kit" feel to the skirts, but still have the aggressive "flying brick" feel...Plus a bit of protection from rocks...and a very factory kind of look...

Might be worth a P-shop at least...

Altering is fine, but I was concernce with the length being long enough. I thought the 4dr had a slightly longer wheelbase but I could be wrong.

The are exactly the same, even the cabin is exactly the same size. Unibody, etc. is all shared.

Yes, they are the same.

Sweet deals. Looks like I'll be trying out some cheapie Taurus skirts for the time being :)

I'm pretty sure the 2 door and 4door have the same wheel base so it would still have to be altered.

Anyone know if the length of the skirts unaltered would fit the 4dr as opposed to the 2dr?

Precisely. They are nothing more than molded pieces of urethane that have a Ford logo stamped into them. The funny thing is that NO ONE outside of the handful of people making a big deal about it here would ever know, much less give a damn. I've told several friends and other people about it, and they all think it's awesome that they fit, and that they were so cheap. One guy I told said "Hey, at least a Ford Taurus came in useful for something!". :D

At any rate, it's nothing worth arguing over. No one has to like them, most people seem to, and only a handful don't. That's their opinion, and they're entitled to it.

Case in point? Randy Spears (spelling?) put honda skirts on his show car.

[Jand3rson]

You're the man. I like the way you think. Couldn't have agreed any more.

In my eyes I see a lot of folks here jumping on the bandwagon of "Bash on FORD"...yes they are crap but I think most people already know that. For those who don't, they needn't to be bothered. Let them be.
