Side skirts are exterior trim pieces that run along the lower side panels of your car, between the front and rear wheels.
Their Main Functions:
Enhance Aerodynamics by reducing air turbulence under the car
Visually Lower the stance for a sportier, track-inspired appearance
Protect rocker panels from road debris
Complete the aggressive body kit look when paired with splitters and diffusers
Side skirts make your Challenger look lower and meaner, giving off major Hellcat or widebody vibes.
They help direct airflow along the side of your vehicle, reducing drag and lift.
When paired with a front lip and rear diffuser, they give your car a cohesive, professional body kit appearance.
Tasteful mods like quality side skirts can actually add value for potential buyers.
