Can anyone trace the pattern of the clear plastic film on the sideskirts and fenders?

I'm in quite a bind here. The body shop is supposed to put these back on my car and they need the stock patterns to cut out. I'm running out of time and would hate to have to get them from the dealer when the body shop would do it for free.

If anyone can quickly do this (rear fender and lower sideskirt areas) I'd be truly grateful.

I guess email or fax maybe would work? skendrish at hotmail dot com or 7 two for for one oh won oh thirtyone.

If I may suggest.

Most bshops have the 3M clear bra film in bulk rolls. You get more coverage on fat 4.2 C5 fenders if you lay a piece over the leading edge of the fender and trim with the proper cutting tool.

The first thing I did with my car was to peel off the limited coverage factory 3M and lay down full coverage for the leading edge of each fender.

Front and rear fenders.

Not quite what you asked for but an opinion for a different direction. Now is the time to do it.

So you're suggesting to make them "non-stock" and have the body shop use for lack of a better term: a "common sense" approach?

I can run that by them, but maybe a picture for reference would be good, too.
