side skirts
Monday, April 30, 2007 6:25 PM
Has anyone had a problem with their side skirts scrapping? I have the a blitz style kit with the scoops on the skirts. I bought the kit from ebay (still kicking myself for that). Anyway, sometimes when i turn a corner to sharply the darn thing scraps just the back half because its too damn low. Are there any companys that make a good version of these that dont hang so low (if that makes sense). Because of the scrapping ive knocked em lose and cracked one side. Im thinking about replacing instead of repairing. But it has to have the side scoop, because the guy drilled screws into the body! I know some new rims would give me a boost, but those are not in the budget right now, thanks to $1.86 gas. Time to buy a bike.

the drift kit is one of the lowest on the market... i doubt clearance would be any different with another kit. best bet is to replace them with skirts that arent so low.

Thanks for the advice. I just may end up doing that.

these seem to be very close to the ones I have but are a bit higher. Or so the picture leads me to believe.

So, id be able to pretty much be able to line it up where the old one was. Being too low bites, I have to ride in someone elses car sometimes, because of the scrapping. It really makes me wanna revert back to stock. But stock z kits are a little boring.

I think it IS THE LOWEST kit on the market for the J-BODY. Next would be the Type-J I think.

My sides scrape all the time now that I ride on Air. Gonna have to do something about it soon though....

I don't even want to talk about gas prices, I live 20 min from Vail Co. Since were on the subject of skirts, does anyone know how much lower the Buddy Club 2 or the Evo skirts sit than the LS Sport kit? I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the Evo skirts are the same design as the Turbo Sport skirts that Chevy made for a limited time.
