Wow, you did a real nice job. But wouldn't that look wierd, with the sides sitting lower than the front, or is it not really noticeable? I understand this is gonna be really hard, but I have all winter to do it, so I think it will get finished. What did you do to modify the side skirts?

The sides don't sit lower than the front, because the same thing has to be done to the front, making it 1/2 to 1 inch lower than the typical wings west front fascia.

So to modify it, did you have to grind down the inside lip where the tape is, to make it sit closer to the car? That's all I can think of, and that maybe it sits lower, so you had more room to smooth the gap or something, which makes sense.

So what did you modify on them? I am guessing you have them sitting lower, so you have enough room to smooth out the mold, right? What did you have to do to modify the gfx? Did you make the top edge thinner, so the gfx would be closer to the car? Thanks man.
