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! -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

I believe 404's are fiberglass as well but don't take my word for it. TRD's are more rounded and match the TRD front and rear splitters, but 404's are a bit more square in the front.
My TRD's: 404's: Picture borrowed from KAOS. You can see in his picture that the 404's have a flat section at the front where the TRD's are rounded. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

My replica 404 skirts are like you mentioned in point "1" of your OP, Colin. The skirts curve under the chassis, but do not connect with it. And the upper portion tucks into the door jamb ever so slightly. You can sort of see in the picture ^^^ where the yellow turns to the skirt color. HTH! My car is hopefully back on the road and completed this weekend, and then I'll hit the body panels hard and get them all mounted as well. (I'll be sure to take pictures for you), pretty sure I'm just going to rivet the skirts on. -------------------- |
