enough that several times i stopped and thought... man, i'm putting way too many hours into this...
including making the prototype/mockup, i'd say probably 3 or 4 hrs. and i have another hr -ish to go to finish the driver's side.

I noticed in the pics that you still have your mud flaps on. If you took them off wouldn't that help with the drag also?

yup. absolutely right. but...
1) the rears serve as a handy attachment point for the skirts, saving having to form a more complex shape at the trailing edge to meet the bumper. so there's that functional reason. plus,
2) it's a black car and gets dirty fast. i decided to make this concession to vanity over aero in order to keep crud off the doors, rockers & rear bumper.
3) they're narrow - barely wider than the tires (155's). though i was sorely tempted to get the big ones with the chrome naked lady silhouette...
