Hello guys,
I wanted to throw out some ideas for a the side skirt area for the base model since we are all here for base. If there is enough interest for the side skirt, we may be able to get JDP to make a side as well.
I have some sort of idea and want to hear your suggestions.
Side diffuser
or
Side Strakes
I am thinking of something small and simple to beef up the look of our base model. I want to have it be able to flow with the front lip.

I spoke with JDP today about the side skirts and we threw around some ideas for a base skirt. We shared the same vision, a simple skirt that isn't too low or extend too far poor b but flow with the front lip and rear bumper. Hes amenable tp the idea, but lets get the lip done first.
The initial prototyping will begin this week. Will hopefully have a rough proto to show in about 2 weeks. I'll keep everyone posted and put up pics whenever I can.
Thanks.

I saw the prototype this past weekend. It looks nice. Not to small and not too big, flows well with the stock lines. I have a pic on my phone, but for some reason I can't save it from the text message so I can post it up. I asked JDP to send pics to my email, but he's also having problems getting the pics off his phone at the moment.
He's started the mold process which should be complete in about 2 weeks and about a week thereafter, the first completed pieces will be available.
I'll post up the proto pics once I can get them in a format I can save. Of course, I'll post up the final product pics too when I get them.
We also spoke about the side skirt and he's interested in doing it, but of course, we would need interest. I don't want to start anything for the side skirts until the front lip is completely done, but please take a moment to consider if you're interested in a side skirt also so that can move faster than the lip if there's enough interest.
Thanks all!
