it takes about 30 mintues to an hour. Even less if you know what your doing. I didnt know what i was doing so it took a little bit longer. But its very easy to do.

How would these looks with the GT rear end and the V6 front bumper? I planned on keeping the V6 front for the pony pkg.

$55 for shipping from v6mustangstuff. That's ridiculous. There has to be a better shipping deal out there somewhere.

$70 for a pair of them.


Would it be cheaper to go with these, or just have the stock ones painted (right now they are an ugly black colour)?
Are the GT side skirts different than the ones that come with the V6 Pony Package?

yes...if you were to paint the v6 ones you would need to sand them down and then get them painted. The GT ones are painted and nice and smooth.

There are 2 types of fastners. White ones, they're short -- and long black ones. They white ones for me were recycleable, the black ones on the other hand, about half of them were broken. That part# I posted was for the black fastners.

This mod has rally dressed up my V6.  I found the directions helpfull - so THANKS!!!!  The white ones I was also able to recycle.  The black ones were, let's put it this way, were interesting.  It took me 6 months to get the Windveil Blue.

Thanks Again,

Mark

I reused all the old hardware and they look great. The whole install takes 20 minutes.

Personally I think this is the best $60 that you can spend, I hated the black skirst and my body guy told me new ones were easier and cheaper than painting the old ones.

i think it looks really good its just that the lines of the front side and rear dont look good

the sideskirt was made black so the lines would match, is the GT kit (front and rear) lower?

Body lines, the bottom of the car. The bumpers are higher off the ground then the new skirts. The black skirts were almost non-apparant so it looks like the body line is straight across the car.

well, I dont think someone will notice unless they are activly looking.   The colored side skirts look cleaner overall then the black to me.

This can be fixed with a chin spoiler and a rear valance if you can't/don't want to go with the GT bumpers.

Okay so I got in there and pulled the two push pins in the wheel well out and pulled down the skirt (lol, that sounds kinda wrong). Then I looked around and pulled out the Christmas tree screw. On the way out it got a bit beat up, but it went back in like a charm and seems to still hold up fine. I took it out again so that I can take it to AutoZone today and get some new ones just in case. My dad will be in town tomorrow, I haven't seen him in six months. He said he'd help me get the new skirts on. I think, however, that I'd be fine doing them myself. It really doesn't seem that hard. I'm still unsure about the rocker stripes. I guess we'll see what they're like tomorrow when I get the new skirts on.
