      I'll be adding more tonight, if I get time. I just realized that when installing these, you lose the stock jack point on the rockers. I may look into cutting out a section to leave a provision for the stock jack. I don't know about some of the rest of you guys, but my car is low enough to the point that I have to jack up the side with the stock jack first to get under the front, especially with the Reiger.

        can't wait to see a finished version or writeup 2.0 and to see how they look on a black car.

              depending on how low you are, a 2x4 isnt enough. i have to drive up on 2 2x4's to get a jack past my front subframe.

                Wow...now everyone's going to do this.

                Hmm...time to scope out the junkyard and find more random sideskirts that fit. :D

                    Scope the yards we must! I just went outside to look at the skirts on my 2000 Explorer, but I don't think so, although nice caps at end?!?

                      I grabbed a set 2 years ago when the pic of the red car with the borbet A's was posted. I've been letting my pair collect dust in my basement because I'm lazy like that when it comes to exterior modifications. I guess I'm going to have to dust them off and get them mounted.

                        I just got a set for my 4-door. Going to start the cutting and all today. Though admittedly, I'm still not really sure how to mount them. I know you said screws on the bottom... what are you screwing them into?

                          I just painted mine, and letting them dry now. But a fly landed on one of them! :-|

                              dude - i'm in the boat where using the OE jack is just too nerve-wracking. Fwiw, my skirts also prevent use of OE jack.

                              Instead of the OE jack, i use scissor-jacks sourced from jap cars in bone yards. They’re cheap, small, and simple. Some are better than others.
