i think they're suppose to be a little curvy.

i was trying to figure out what that open rectangle shaped spot is.. i guess that faces to the ground.

if they are warped..they should be able to be un warped. i know thats how the GT ground effects on a fox mustang is. lay them in the sun and they'll go back to the original shape

yeah i'm gettin it all. just trying to find them used first. since its expensive brand new. just those skirts alone are over 300 not including shipping i believe. i'm paying 125 plus 30 shipping.

i paid 350 for used 99-04 Roush mustang ground effects.. they cost 800 brand new.

I'm liking the hood bird - not too big, not too small - just right. Wouldn't mind knowing where he got that from...
