    The skirts are a good way to only have to buy 2 pretty wheels for the car.I guess it would'nt matter what was on the rear...lol

    You have to wonder if they took a step back after putting that car together and thought "maybe this wasn't such a good idea..." :vomito:

    Those skirts fit nice. I like those. I think they go real nice esp., on 4 door cars they might not go well w\ restmod, dragracers, hotrods but I think they wud work on lowered 4 door cars who want a different look.

    On a lowered 4-door car they might actually look kinda cool but not on a 2-door. But hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    It would still look gross....:vomito:
    It's just not in the lines for a Maverick/Comet, with the body lines and all...

    Yeah good point, skirts are for big ol' cars, lead sleds are the only cars I really like them on, the 57' T-Bird For Instance, I've always thought that car looked cooler without the skirts.

    Exactly! If the body lines didn't follow the wheel opening the might look like they almost belong there.
