DIY Kouki Side skirt end cap
This is assuming you have at least one end cap to work with, or a good friend that would let you borrow their end cap for an hour. I had the driver side to work with.
Time: 1-2 hours What you need: Material: -semi-thick piece of plastic. I used the back or a craftsmen storage box. -gorilla glue (or sumo glue) Tools: -Cutting tool (I used a dremel) -razor blade knife -Phillips head screw driver -#10 1" self tapping screw with "10 flat washer -sand paper, or dremel sanding tool -Patience when shaping the cap If I did it again, I would wait to glue it before putting it on the car :duh: Cut out the end cap and fit it to the side skirt to make sure there are no gaps. I had to re-glue it because i set it in too far. I traced out the driver side end cap and cut it out of a piece of the back of a craftsmen tool box. Any semi-thick piece of plastic will do (trash can lid..etc) ***make sure you cut it a little bigger than the trace so you have room to make adjustments if need be. I used a dremel cutting tool to cut the initial shape and a razor blade knife to cut it to its exact size. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...o/IMG_1076.jpg it needed to be shaped little by little to make it fit right. its going to take a little trial and error to get the right fit. but here is what it looked like on the side skirt. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...o/IMG_1077.jpg gorilla glue foams up a little, so i used a dremel sanding tool to sand down the excess glue. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...o/IMG_1078.jpg Here is what it looks like on the car. I used a #10 self tapping screw and washer (same ones used to hold the sideskirt from the bottom) to hold it all in place. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...o/IMG_1080.jpg I hope this helps.
