"Okay the whole reason why I did this was because I did not want to spend $300 on the sideskirts I wanted. The ones i wanted were the ones off http://www.emphase.ca. It looked like it would be simple to make so since I had a free weekend last week and thought to myself why not give it a shot? So i went to the home depot, bought some flat sided gutters, went to autozone bought some fiberglass and started working. After I was done doing all the body work, my bro is a certified car painter and he painted my sideskirt in our backyard. Well after that it cost me only $23 to make these. I took some pics during the process. any opinions or suggestions would be great... i don't care if you flame. Hope you guys enjoy!"

3/4/2006 3:14:38 PM

oh durrr

at least i wasn't a dick about it

3/4/2006 3:18:51 PM

Uhh, there's only one picture there that even gives me a vague idea of what it looks like on the car.

But then again, from that picture, it doesn't look all that bad...

a few months ago, MaximaDriver made sideskirts out of steel for his maxima... they didn't look quite as good as these

3/4/2006 8:10:28 PM

3/4/2006 8:42:45 PM

Not really my thing but damn nice result. Black and straight as hell for homebrew fiberglass and roofing materials. Right on man

3/4/2006 8:47:10 PM

3/5/2006 12:44:22 AM

3/5/2006 12:48:39 AM

[Edited on March 5, 2006 at 12:56 AM. Reason : it also helps having a brother who is certified painter probably looking at like 100-200 for pj]

3/5/2006 12:55:35 AM

I saw this back on vortex. It looks like he cares though. That is something I can't say about the maxima.

3/5/2006 2:46:59 AM

don't see what they added to the car, but not bad wrokmanship

3/5/2006 11:59:21 AM

you cant buy fiberglass for 23$ much less a gutter and paint

3/5/2006 12:05:38 PM

yea im calling bullshit on the material cost.

the resin alone will cost you more than what you quoted.

3/5/2006 12:13:45 PM

huh? you can certianly buy a glass kit for less than 20

3/5/2006 1:20:45 PM

^lol, gg

3/5/2006 2:18:48 PM

you have a before pic? nice work, looks very clean.

3/5/2006 2:37:32 PM

no i don't have a before picture, its not my damn car. they aren't the deepest but they look damn good for what they are i think, albeit a little flat.

3/5/2006 3:42:03 PM

hahah i love how no one respects anything on t-dub...

no matter how bad ass a car might be there is always some tool bag that has to knock it... and more than likely this tool bag drives some sort of Not-shit, no-soul vehicle like a honda accord or a Mazda blah or maybe a Toyota mode of transportation


btw i'm not saying this is bad ass but its good clean work.

You can buy like 6oz of resin and hardner for $14 at lowes.

Its bad shit though.... elmers or something.

Although I think you have just a bit more than 6oz of resin in there. I hope you used more than one layer of glass... because that shit will break if not.
