Would someone with these side skirts be willing to take some measurements for me? I'm concerned that they'll contact the arm of my lift like my Top Secret skirts did. I need to know how far the stick out from the lowest point of the OEM side skirts, and the thickness of the blade. I really want a set of these, but this time I'm going to measure first before buying.

Chuck, just sell the car.

Not until I'm done with it. Which will likely never happen.

when i mount mine i will get that measurement for you. I am questioning the ones i got right now, just don't seem like they are right. waiting to hear back from Japan before i install them.
hoping to mount them this weekend

Sweet. Thanks.

I'm lowered on Swifts and these blades don't like the arms on the lift. My tech has to jack up the car, slide the arm in, raise the pads, and then lower the car. It's a tedious process, but that's one of the reasons why my side blades are cracked.

That's the exact process I don't want to do. It's going to vary based on the type of lift, so once I get that measurement I'll see if mine will play nice with the blades.

don't buy aero jacket ones then, those for sure don't work with jacks or lifts lol

these seem to be a bit narrower then the aero jacket, but i don't hold my breath for working with lifts/jacks

Could you drive on planks of wood then slide the arms under? Or trying to avoid that as well?

It's not a height issue. It's the shape of the arms. I need to make sure they don't stick out so fat as to contact the thicker part of the lift arm.

any particular area, front, rear, center? or all of them, it tapers to the rear

Chuck33079 04-24-2014 05:43 PM

About a foot behind the front tire and a foot ahead of the rears. That's about where the arms end up.
