Hey guys, I just had a couple of questions for people here who are running a set of TRD REPLICA side skirts, in terms of fitment.

1. Do the side skirts completely wrap around the bottom of the car, and make contact with the underside, for the full length of the side skirt? Or is there a "gap" between the side skirt and underside of the car that you could reach inside, that could potentially collect dirt and grime?

2. Around the door, does the side skirt wrap around the rocker panel and inside into the door jam? Or does the skirt simply stop just below the door, on the outside of the rocker panel?

Hopefully this makes sense and someone can chime in and help me out. I managed to get my hands on a set of TRD reps, and just trying to guage how poor of a replica they are, as I've already compared them to Legit TRD skirts, and they seem fairly different in terms of fitment. Just trying to see if all reps are the same, or if they're are different qualities of replicas.

Thanks a lot!

I have DCW TRD replicas. I'll snap some pictures for you tomorrow. But in the meantime...

Mine completely wrap underneath the body and make contact. Fitment underneath the body isn't quite close enough to use the factory skirt mounting point under the body but my skirts do touch the body.

Mine fit up into the door jamb, right up to where the door sills are mounted.

Based on question #2, do you think you may have 404's? Kurt and I had a similar discussion to your second question a while back and it turns out the 404's don't go into the door jamb like my TRD replicas do.
