Default Side skirt measurement

Hi guys,

Can anyone with OEM skirts measure the distance from the chrome trim to the bottom of the skirt? Can you get measurements from both the front and the rear? Let me know if you are including the chrome trim in the measurement or not.

Although I am interested in the OEM ones, anyone with different skirts should feel free to add. This would be a good way to compare how low the different skirts are. We can always turn it into something with bumpers too but for now, let's see how far this gets with just the skirts.

Thanks.

Here is the pic in the gallery that has to do with the skirt (the skirt in the pic is the L-tuned):

The problem is there is no number unless it is in the post that this pic is linked to.

Thanks Dave. I found that earlier but bravo only talked about the measurement of the L-Sportline reer:

So this means the back of the L-Tuned skirts are around 14.5". No numbers for the front.

Still, this is not the OEM.

hey Neo

The front is about 12" to 12 1/4" from the bottom of the chrome trim
The rear is about 12 3/4" from the bottom of the chrome trim

No plans. Just comparing clearances. Is your measurement for both the front and rear ends? If it is the front, there is about a 1/4" difference between yours and Rich's numbers. If it is the rear, it is 1" off.

I bought and still have the Lsportline side skirts but never installed them. I was going to use them with my WIN front and rear because the win sideskirts were too low I felt. But decided to go in a whole different direction. Hope the #s helped.
