Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics Making your own skirt

Hi guys,

I've been thinking and working on making my own skirt. Don't call me crazy yet because every body else has. Since I fixed my front bumper (after an accident) with fiber glass I started thinking that it would be easy to make your own skirt using fiber glass.

Starting May I made a mold and added metal brackets on the side of my car which will hold the skirt in place. Originally I was going to make one big piece and attach it using the bracket. The problem is to reach the bracket I would need to extend my fiber glass by 7 inches. The problem with fiber glass is that it can becaume expensive if you add several layers and having just one layer is just not enough so I've changed the way I was going to do it.

Now what I'd like to know is if anybody else knows another non-expensive material that can be used for such an operation?

I'm hopping to succed because there's simply no skirts available for the Contour (At least, not a big selection).

Please feel free to give me your input on this subject. I'll probably post some pictures once I have something to show...
