OK, It wouldn't let me edit the last photo, but anyways...
I trimmed the skirts down and added to the spoiler. I just need to fill in the cracks with putty. Next step.....tab lower that SE chassis.

Here is a pic of the body on the chassis lowered. There is not much lowering capablitlies on the SE chassis, with or without the lights PCB board in the body. The main problem is that bigh ole black box on top of the chassis PCB.

Here is a comparison with a normal SE chassis. The SE chassis still has the lights PCB, so without that, it could be a tad lower.

I don't mind if use it at all, it's not trademarked.....yet.  I used styrene sheets and stacked and glued them together. You can use either (3) 20mm sheets or (2) 30mm sheets to obtain the same thickness I have or make you own thickness. I traced the pattern around the body, and did the same for the spoiler, but made that a little larger. I make everything a little big and then sand it down after it is glued to the car.

ron6, this is the best I can do on my home computer. No Auto Cad here. Theis will give the basic dimensions and you just have to shape it to the contour of the body. Mount the side skirts flush to the inside of the body and mount the front and rear to have the same outside overhang as the side skirts.

Look again....
It's not much, but it's the lowest you can go without removing the LED PCB.

You can find styrene at you local hobby shop. Now, if I made them for you, that would take all the fun out of it, and the feeling of accomplishment you your part. It's really not hard.
airline2:
The car is more lowered in the front than the rear because of the black box on the PCB, and the skirts do give it more of a lowered look, but it is lowered and makes the profile look a lot better than the original which had the body leaning towards the rear.
It will get dropped more once I remove the lights and figure out what that box is and if anything can be done with it.
BTW, I stuck some better photos in the Gallery Forum.
