Lol I have a few ideas in my head, it's just a matter of how to create them.

I wonder if you can cut/trim the inboard mounting edge of the skirt and then relocate the notches in the forward flanges to pull the skirt more inward?

Maybe but that might not look right since it has the natural curve. I was considering just plugging that hole on the top, since I have the rock guards on my car it doesn't really matter that it sticks out a tad. But I'm waiting to see what you guys come up with before I order them, also I know Ikonmotorsports (or whatever they are called) has a car in there shop now working on this, I saw it on IG.

Hey I'm in CT and not sure if you want to drive up here, but I have good auto body shop near me that painted and fitted my fiberglass hood on my black Charger back in 2013. It's still a perfect match color wise and that's on fiberglass, which is known to fade after time. They were very reasonable and considering the crap that RK sport sent me, it's a miracle they were able to get it to fit so well. The place is called Mike's Towing and Collision and here's their number: (203) 743-0603...good luck and stay away from Maaco, they're terrible.

Just an idea for anyone else...would it be better to buy the GFX kit for the SS and sell the front splitter and rear diffuser? I think they come already painted and it might be easier if you can find someone who wants the other parts up front.

Thanks I appreciate you reaching out. They are actually getting painted as we speak. Picking them up either tomorrow or monday. As far as the fitment issue, I got an idea cooking in my head, I'm gonna put my handyNess to work, if it works out it should look pretty good, otherwise I'll definitely keep that place you mentioned in mind.

Quick little update, dropped the rockers off to get painted on thrusday, was told they would try to have them ready by Saturday if not then Monday, Tuesday the latest. Just called them and apparently they've been so busy they haven't gotten to them yet but that they are prepped and ready for paint( scratched them a little putting them in the car). He told me they they will try to paint this afternoon if not tomorrow morning. Pissed me off a little but I'm still waiting for rock guards to arrive so I guess I can wait a little longer. I should have something to show evryone this weekend

Just to give you guys an idea of what I'm planning on making. This is the best picture I could find to help yall picture it. The lines would obviously follow the gap and the rock guards outer edge and would be as thin as possible. Could possibly work without the rock guards we'll see.
