I don't have a Sky and while those skirts look great I am more interested in the Bar across the humps.  What is that norm?

I believe Norm customized that for the owner of the car.

it's a one-off item....

That is a light bar.  Norm originally made one for another Sky (Red) back a couple of years ago, it's a slick little add-on, and I assume he had the mold lying around somewhere . . . which makes it relatively easy to pull another together.

It's a 2 Off.

How do the side Skirts attach? Once they are installed do they have to be removed to remove the fender?

True, this one does seem to have a lot of the same body parts.

Two different owners with the SKY rear light bar. Bill - Silver Pearl and Ben - Chilli Pepper Red.
What would you call that light bar "Forth brake light"? :idk:

Hello and thankyou for all the wonderful comments, The light bar is something that Im not sure Im going to make available as it takes so much work to make, not to mention the Led light itself. Yes I made molds so I can repeat the process but its a pain in the butt to install, though Im getting better at it. It does require drilling through the deck lid for the wires and a couple of screws. You have to be precise in the mounting postion as there is a sweet spot since it fits over the compound curves of the humps. Wiring is straight foreward no problem, just need to be able to hide the wireing under the deck lid liner and run it next to the hinge to the rear tail light which you need to take out to gain access to the green brake light wire. Took both Bill and I about three hours to get it done. Im sure the next time it will get easier. If I was going to build one youre looking at $495.00 before painting. Thanks again Norm

Sorry it took me so long to post but Norm got my side skirts and light bar installed on Sunday the 17th of June and I left at 6:30am Monday the 18th for Asheville. And what a wonderful week it was in Asheville, great runs,vendors and friends. And Thanks to Norm, DDM, and JPM, I drove home with Best in Show Sky and 2012 Best Overall Kappa Awards. I still can't believe that on Sunday the 12th of June on a cruise with 17 other Kappas I hit a deer (or the deer hit me) and it caved in the drivers side door and mirror (no major damage to Norms fenders or hood thank God) and my dealer was able to get a new door from Tennessee, paint it, install it and I picked the car up on the 16th, which allowed me to head down to Norm's on Sunday for the installs (who works on Sundays). Thanks again to Norm for his AMAZING craftsmanship and vision. I will be heading up to Solo performance near Toronto to have Jeff and Steve install Norms new center exhaust diffuser and Solos first center exhaust on a Sky. Can't wait to post Picks soon. -Bill- (Maui Sky)

Kona - Can't wait to see the new rear fascia.  Do you think you'll have it for the next MKC meet?  After seeing that deer jump into you, I too was amazed you were able to get everything back together for nationals.  Glad everything worked out for you.  See you soon.

Hello, good question. Should you want to remove the fender then yes the side skirt needs to be loosened up. However if its that you want to change the battery, then removing the battery through the wheel well is far easier to do. Even if you dont have any side skirt.

Attaching the side skirt is by double sided tape on top then using excisting stock inner wheel well screws and supplied bolts on the bottom. Not hard to too, just some tweaking to get the proper postion.
