purchased a muffler skirt from evilbay and correct mounting hardware from stoddards, does anyone know the correct mounting points/procedure? There are 9 sheetmetal screws and 2 screws/nuts to keep the 3 pieces together. It appears the lip of the skirt would fit under the bumper and the sheet metal screws would just go through the bumper and through the skirt? I have never seen one up close so if anyone has one or has seen up close please let me know.
Thanks
Thats correct,so on the outside(painted side) of your right and left bumpers and center panel you will see the top head of the screws. I have one mounted on my car and I'm also based in LA :cool:
Was the skirt more for personal protection from the muffler heat or does it have more functionality? It's a bitchin cool look. :cool:
I think it is just for the cosmetics affect, maybe to dress/sport things up a bit and give it that 356 carerra of old look?
so to understand
Outside in:
screw head
painted fender
muffler skirt
That is correct in that order screw head, painted bumper,muffler skirt.Your also right its purpose is cosmetic,its a skirt for the muffler(it helps hide the muffler)if you look closely you will that Steve McQueen has one on his car in the movie LeMans(1970S),you can best see it at the about 2minutes and 24seconds into the movie.REMEMBER ONCE YOU INSTALL THE MUFFLER SKIRT YOU WILL HAVE HOLES IN THE LOWER AREA OF YOUR CENTER PANEL AND RIGHT AND LEFT BUMPERS!
