My new side splitters :)

So my side skirt panels were getting beat up bad. Im assuming because the car sits so low so. What do you guys think?

Plastic I assume?
If so, what kind? And just Di-Noc wrapped?

Since you're asking for opinions, I think it looks like a fancy slab. It should taper in a little at the front and flare out a little at the rear, perhaps rounding the corners would help a little too. Pretty neat effort though.

It actually does taper in the front a little. i guess you cant tell in the picture.

I like the strong solid corners, adds an extra body line to the car.

I'd probably prefer the edges to be tapered more towards the body lines. That way it doesn't look like we wrapped a 2x4 to the sides of the car.

Still sexy though..

I've used a lot of DiNoc. It's not about fading, it's about chipping from rocks. Ask anyone with side blades. You'll see...

Either way, you can pick up a can of clear Glossifer or even a clear coat that plasti-dip has come up with that sprays down both side skirts and will act as a clearbra.

You can use the dip on your eVO-R side skirts as well.

I personally prefer using 3M but for this concept, either works great!
