*Sideskirts - To Mold In Or Not*?

[AGVI]

I bought a sideskirt package and will probably install it this Spring. I was contemplating molding the fiberglass in so that there are no seams like my front end.

Vette now...

I like how clean it looks with the skirts molded in, but as I do not know how much C3's flex, I would be scared of cracks appearing after a while if the bodies do flex excessively. Or, having to replace them if damage occurs, I imagine that it would be a pain in the pooper to fix. That's right, I said pain. But, if we all worried about what might happen, we would never leave our houses. Nice pictures btw.

Please never say 'PAIN' again! lol

I actually exchanged messages with the owner of the Vette above and he hasn't had any problems with flexing and cracking...maybe I'll just mold in the part that goes over the rear wheel well.

I don't like skirts on C3's. They are just fine without any. But it's your car, have fun...

It'll balance out the front...I think it'll look good if done right.....I should just bolt them on in case I don't like the look.

I think it will balance out the front end also, mold it in, looks better.

I agree that it will balance out the front. My vote is to mold in!

I think I'll only mold in the part over the rear wheel...I might have cracking issues when it's lifted...thanks for the help though.

Most peple lower their Corvettes and your going to lift it? Awesome!

4x4 Vette....

4x4 has been done.

I think you should blend the skirts in if you are going to put them on.

That's the Vette I was thinking of...lol

Don't laugh. There is an AWD Vette floating around that I'm sure a few of you have seen that is a mixture between a Typhoon and a 79 Vette. Apparently it ran 9.18 in the quarter.
