Installing GT skirts on an LX is a quick and dirty method for sleek style points. The GT skirts are subtle yet sexy.

91-92 GT skirts will only fit 2 door LX's but the 93-96GT skirts fit all LX's and even wagons.

Materials:
Sheet metal screws
double sided tape
rubbing alcohol
GT skirts

Line the skirt up along side your car. Clean the surfaces of the car and skirt that will be touching each other with the alcohol. Now lay doublesided tape on the skirt surface. Line up the skirt with the front mounting screw in the wheel well. This is a stock screw and should line up perfectly. Stick the skirt on all along the car. At the rear bottom of the skirt drill a hole and drive a sheet metal screw in the bottom of it for further reinforcement.

Stand back and check out your hot new skirts.

91-92 directions similar.

The only requirement in this group is that you have a valid drivers license and a street legal Ford escort of any year. The cars my be stock or modded any is acceptable. I am starting this group to bring escort owners together for car shows and to just hangout. All are welcome to join i will keep you posted on meeting dates and locations. This group is free to join and hangout and help us start car shows. The reason why im starting this car show is people talk bad about for escorts and being a owner my self they are not slow and good on gas i like them. They are good reliable inexpensive cars. This website is in construction. So we are open for locations and join join join. Escort owners join we will in the future be giving away car club stuff such as stickers and tee shirts the only catch is you attend most meetings and dont give the club a bad name. Message me at Juggelox@yahoo.com for more information. We also help other members to the best of our ability such as breakdowns, advice and ect. This is going to be more like a family than anything. We do not discreamenate agenst race color or anything all are welcome to join. All ford midsize and compact cars are welcome to join.
