So I removed the entire ground effects only to find the front of both sides full of fine dirt. Is this normal or did I buy a used SVT that went for a dip on Galveston beach? http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/clownxl/detail?.dir=/b2ac&.dnm=2735.jpg&.src=ph When I first brought this car home I noticed a lot of leaves jammed in the corners of the engine compartment just above these panels...perhaps the car sat under a tree, a lot.

You drive through wet weather and muddy water runs in to the skirts when it is thin, then the water drips out the bottom and leaves the dirt.
