fender skirts

[chumly]

Has anyone considered testing or making fender skirts to improve mileage/looks? I just saw an article about saving gas and it mentioned them.How much difference would it make? Just think of the possibilities (nice rounded fenders on a pink Smart Hmmmmm).

Going for that retro look?

Why not, Your not going to change that tire anyway.

Actually it has been done. Don't remember the company, but I'd say it was around a year ago when I saw them. The guy was selling them for around $350? or so.

I'm a huge fan of skirts since I had them on my Insight....as well as a few of the 50's and 60's cars I've had.

I'll try to remember the company, they have been done ....AND it was on a 451. I think the company was in California.

Why not put skirts on front and back tires so it looks like you're driving a shoe around.
