12071, Got my sideskirts Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, Jan-15-02 12:49 PM
Finally, after almost a month, my battle z (blitz type 2) sideskirts got here. They had Lexington, KY instead of NC and I had to re-route them. They are in great shape. I am kinda scared tho. They look like they'll be really low when I put them on. I held them in place beside the car. About how much clearance do you guys have with these sides?

Mine were dead even to maybe even a little higher than the metal piece. It looked really low when I held them up but its not.

I got down in the garage and looked while we held them in place. Not much clearance. I am gonna try it. I can get 215-45 tires and a prokit or maybe just the bigger tires will help. That's a while off. I am planning on tokico illuminas next. Will this help prevent me from bottoming out as easy?

also, will the doors scrape them? And can I make them not scrape the doors?

Oh ya, your doors will most likely hit the side skirt in at least one area when you open/close it. Mine are like that. It scratched the paint in a small line, but hasn't taken the paint off of the skirt. It just looks like it was slightly sanded. It's nearly impossible to make it not hit at all with the small clearance between our doors and the metal piece you drill into.

could u sand the bottom of the doors and use touch up paint?

Uhh I wouldn't suggest sanding the doors. They are metal, so it would take a LOT of sanding, and touch up paint would look nasty

nobody would see the very bottom on the door. Touch up paint wouldn't be bad. I will ask the body shop. I am just gonna let them do everything so I don't have to worry bout messing up.
