Do fender skirts ever fit?

I have been through 5 different sets on 2 different cars and none of them fit correctly.

Is this common or is it my normal bad luck?

 

The 51 skirts on my 49 Merc, could'nt fit better!.............OLDBEET

 

maybe you have sheet metal issues? check to see how original in dimension you wheel openings are and who made the skirts?
please dont saay there was a tiny sticker on the back that said...MIC
"made in china"

 

That is my point, why should there be issues.

I have no idea what MIC is, but keep the "made in china" off this site.

 

you would have Issues if your sheet metal isnt right. thats what i was trying to say. check to see if the wheel opening is correct, also check to see the "quality" of your after market skirt ...MIC is an abreviation for "bad shit you dont want to buy".....

 

what car? year?...maybe you got the wrong ones?

 

The skirts on my caddy fit great (original), but I did have some aftermarket skirts on a 64 Impala that didn't fit well at all. What I realized was the quarterpanel on the Impala was just a little bit bent, just enough to make the skirt look terrible even though without the skirt you'd never notice.

 

Bought some from Obsolete parts in Ok. City.
for 52 Ford -Merc. Yes they were MIC and
no they dont fit well.

 

mine are original and fit fine

 

Got a nice set out of NCA fit like a glove
