I've been swamped here at my regular job that I couldn't get the skirts to the next phase yet. However, I'll be tweaking the molds for the skirts in the CAD file before I send off to my machinist to have a mahagany wood version made for production runs. I'm thinking around mid to late Oct before I can start offering these to the public. I'll post progress pics as I more develops. Thanks for asking.
Bump - I guess I should actually subscribe to this thread...... instead of bumping ..... but I really want a lot of folks to see these and encourage them to support Rudy and Aftershock!

Thanks for keeping the interest alive. I've been trying to keep busy with my current day time job as the company has recently let go of some regional managers out in the field. Since the skirts would require some serious cash out of pocket to produce the production molds, I've held back as I'm waiting to see how the economy holds up and whether I'll still be employed by the beginning of the year or not. I recently tweaked the 'vent' detail a bit which looks much nicer, IMO and I'm anxious to get these produced.
I guess it's true when they say, "when it rains it pours!" My sol is currently at the dealer as it has developed the infamous "reduced power" engine light affliction. Had to have it flat bed to the dealer as I barely could move it out of the garage without out it sputtering and smoking like it was about to stall several times. I'm hoping that it's a computer thing than something mechanical.
If and when the economy starts turning positive, I'll get the ball rolling with the skirts.

Rudy, If/when you go to the final product, please let me know, I'll purchase a pair as well. I like how they form to the body and the added grill work is great! Keep me updated and I'll jump on it. good luck

Just a teaser of what's currently in the works. I'll be getting the first vacuum-formed prototype plastic parts within the next 2 weeks for test fitting. The ones you see here are the CNC'd foam prototypes that were test fitted on the vehicle a couple months ago. The other smaller images were the preliminary design stage renderings.
Dude what kind of wheels are those!?!?!
Those look bigger than the Gravana 19"s in your sig. Are the tires a smaller profile than usual perhaps?
