Budget Skins




I plan to install Aluminum Skins, but I picked up a set of Budget Skins from r2builder Chani.

Budget Skins are sheets of .040" (1mm) styrene with Chani's skins cut file scored onto them. These skins are for builders that don't mind taking some time working with their parts, but at the same time, eliminating the need for another template. Every cut line is scored into the styrene, so with a utility knife, an optional straight-edge, and a little time, you can have a complete set of skins that won't set you back. Please see the photo above. That's what you will receive. Included are Front Outer, Front Inner, Back Outer and Back Inner skins scored onto four sheets of 24"x36" sheets. Another advantage of using these skins is that, because they are already scored into the plastic, it's easier to freehand your final cuts because your knife won't want to slip out of the pre-scored groove very easily. Also, if you're careful, it's possible with most panels to just bend the score lines slightly and pop them out.
They work with any club-spec frame.
