How did you purchase a non staggered set of 962s?

specs also please. I smell spacers. Not that it's a bad thing IMO.

They look pretty good. My JY has a lot of Explorers due to the "clunker" deal, so it will be easy to find my own.

FYI- if you ever want to get rid of that peeling factory pinstripe, try this-http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_1...0003a

I bought one last year from Eastwood and it works great.

Nice, i went with the more turned down look on mine but the great thing about these is that you got choises. They fit like they were ment to.I will get some closer pics up today hopefully, my g/f had her car in the garage all weekend and it made taking pics under the car impossible.

Yeah, I think it looks better pointing down more as it matches the pig lip

Yeah it is a neon wing, i just took it off and smoothed out the hatch. Here are some more photos of what to do. I guess you could probably cut the back of the skirt as well to fit it but i just liked the flared fit. Hope this helps.

i actually mounted it the opposite way the closed side to the front. and at first i used a pair of vice grips on both ends and on the bottom to hold it in place. then i heated it with a heat gun this way it took the shape of the body. i think it came out ok. once the snow stops again ill post some pics up.

I used whatever bolts i had laying around the garage. I just drilled a hole big enough in the seam and bolted it up. I used the stock holes in the skirt to mark the seam. Alos i used washers to make the heads fit
