Hi Everyone! Being in the tech industry, I am awesome at searching the web. But I cannot find who makes these side skirts. So I hoped someone in the community would know. :) I like how they are the same height as the front lip. Whoever put this car together did an amazing job. :)

Front lip is AB Flug AFAIK. Asking the previous owner about the skirts, hold please!

Official word: No one has been able to ID them. He said they look custom (maybe modified skirts from another car). The side splitters were ABS plastic, also custom.

Thank you AZ! You knew exactly where I was going with this. I was going to ask about the Splitters next. :) I wonder if we could find the vendor where the side splitters were made? Are there vendors that do ABS Plastic manufacturing on a small scale? I've seen some videos on Youtube recently that show some sort of plastic and they heat it up, and then they vacuum form it to a template. I wonder if that's how they did it?

Those look to be flat ABS, which you can do yourself.

Template is made from cardboard, make a pattern, and gitrdun.

I didn't find the exact side skirts, but I found that the Do Luck T2 Aero Kit is similar. :)
