These skirts are guaranteed to enhance the already excellent good looks of this vehicle with the added advantage of streamlining that promises better gas mileage at the higher speeds.

Retro-Designs.....or something

WTF?!?! they claim these turds will improve gas mileage. and they only cost $410 with primer. i swear, somebody that pays that much for that product, or buys that product at all, needs to be shot.

hahahahaha. i scroll further on the page and it looks worse and worse.


these people need to die already. i swear, if i see one of those things on the road i'll take the person out of their car and beat them until they can't drive anymore.

These are actually quite a good idea. First off, I will give you that they look like crap, but they are primered. They still need to be painted to match the car.

Now, the reason why these are a good idea is because it cuts down on the drag on the rear wheels. If you can reduce your drag co-efficient, you'll increase gas milage. So, granted this is an ugly "mod", but it does have it's purpose.

i'm wondering where on the chart does this minimal increase in milage overcomes the price and fuglyness factors. you'd have to own the car for like 20 years for that to happen. and even then, is it worth the trouble?
