problem with rear skirt

[TRD SPORTIVO]

Hi guys,

Bought a rear skirt for my rolla a month ago and was to get it painted/fitted today, i went to pick it up this arvo, they painted it fine but are saying they cant fit it due to my exhaust in the way etc, said he would have to cut to much out, i put it up and held it there and it looks as though it would need an inch cut out in height at the highest point and maybe 4-5 wide due to two barell exhaust. To me it looked as there would be plenty left to support it, but i dont know where to go from here, he said i prob need a new single exhaust fitted, which im not keen on buying.

Any ideas/advice would be appreciated,

thanks

It will fit no problems if you do a cutout for the exhaust tips.

Your dodgy panel beater is trying to make you buy an exhaust tip.

hey thanks for the info, spoke to him again today, he said he was worried that if he cuts, the support will be quite weak and the thing may sag in like six months, any merit in that? i was thinking i could maybe get the exhaust tip lowered or on an angle maybe?

i mean is it cut by a jig saw lol, or like is it a sharp clean cut..

When I fitted the skirt to my ex gf's car I got a new muffler and dump tip as she wanted that done anyway...

Looks a lot cleaner without cut outs IMO...

yeah you can use a angle pipe thing lol.

and i used a jigsaw, then we sanded it down
