axmea?'s not-much-of-a-build thread - more like a photo log

I made something for my side skirts. To minimize rock chips eating up the FRP on my skirts just behind the front wheels, I cut a small gauge aluminum sheet after making a pattern. Used a high tpi blade for a nice smooth cut. Cleaned and smoothed out the edges, hammer it to shape, primed, painted it black, and simply stuck it on there with 3m tape. Still there after 2.5 months now. The paint is beat up but you can tell how much of a beating rock chips can make on those skirts. Nice layer of protection I think and easy to make.

I plan on making a 2nd one, this time I'll wrap it at the bottom some more.
