Real wheel skirts.

I'm with you. I don't think they're that attractive. I prefer the open look. Unless there was a significant improvement in FE I'll pass. (5+ MPG which is very unlikely. IMHO)

Of course, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." If you like it, go for it.

I would also be interested, price pending of course.

 

I am looking into this option as well... One of my vendors is very capable with these type of parts.

Quantity would be the main issue to justify the tooling.

 

lyekka,
Welcome to PriusChat. Your coming has been long anticipated.

I, like bestmapman, am keenly even obsessively interested in getting
a set of smooth, good looking, painted-to-match rear wheel skirts/spats.
(For me it would be Barcelona red.)

While you are contemplating the tool-up, I'd like to suggest that you consider
"full" and "half-length" skirts. The half-length skirts would start at the lower
corners of the opening and then be scalloped upwards to about the height of
the center of the wheel. (Granted, they'd cover more than half of the wheel
opening, but you can't call them "four-sevenths" length.)

Woo-Hoo!

Really good "artist's impression" graphics posted here would go a long way to
drumming up interest, even before there are any actual prototypes.

Good luck in this venture, and please keep us posted on your progress.

 

Sign me up for some skirts. With the traveling I do it will be worth it.

Dead no, just recovering from all the blood loss.

I'm interested in a set of black, pending on cost.

I imagine I would have to remove my rear mudguards?

Would I have to drill any permanent holes in my Prius that would show if the skirts were removed? I'm thinking down the line for when I replace my current Prius....I'd like to keep the skirts and have them repainted to match my future Prius.

 

I'm in.

 

All it takes is some skirts...

 

And I thought he was a pants man.

 

Pending the final cost -- you can also count me in..

 

Question: How "detachable" are the skirts?

For example, I get a flat and need to swap in the spare. Will access to the tire be significantly hampered?

Interested, but the price may kill it (Sorry, I'm a cheap-o).

 

Hello, excellent rendering. I too would be interested. Please let us know pricing as soon as you have the info.

Same concerns:
1. Ease of removal: for flats, tire rotations, general maintenance.
2. Mud flaps. either or, it seems?!??
3. Thinking about the Kenstyle kit with the rear/side aprons. I don't have measurements of the kenstyle but could you send your specs, what is the lowest point. Since in the rendering it seemed to match the stock rear/side apron would it be safe to measure that. I would feel more comfortable with your measurements if you have them.

Thanks.

Deyner

 

I would be purchase a set in barcelona red if the price is reasonable. i hope the post is not too late.
