    So the SN95 rockers are shorter in length than the Mavs correct? The side skirts need to be lengthened to work on our cars. I 'd have to wonder if the side skirts from the newer stangs are longer. Might be worth calling them to find out. Can you tell us how much longer the skirts had to be to fit?

    thats what i was thinking too, there has to be a car that has longer rockers than the maverick. so the side skirts will be longer for different cars. idk maybe im being optimistic and its much harder than this lol hint: ive never tried to do this. but i thought u would just get some side skirts that are longer than ours and measure then cut to correct length. and then fiberglass the 2 peices together, then put it on the car:drive:

    I looked at the newer ones and none of them have the right contours from what I saw.....but I guess it would not hurt to give it the old college try! good luck !

    Looks great. Did it actually lower the rockers any for that lowered effect? I didnt realize they covered the entire rocker.

    looks great but you missed the tail pipes. they are below the hole, now you have to start all over again. just kidding.

    I have a set of these from the Elenor style mustang. Had to shorten them a bit. havent installed mine yet.

    Do you have any pictures of what you had to cut from the rocker panels ? Did it weaken the body when you cut them ? I wonder if subframe connectors would prevent any weakening.
