Side Skirts & Sill Extensions — Page 3

Tuning thresholds are, first of all, a tribute to automotive fashion, and only then a useful detail on your car. The thresholds bear the main load-bearing load in the vehicle structure. The rigidity of the body and the overall impression of the "four-wheeled friend" depend on their condition. That is why car owners often resort to equipping the thresholds with additional expressive and functional means.

Tyungig thresholds - types and methods

The possibilities for changing the appearance and retrofitting the sills are not as wide as it might seem at first glance, but they are quite diverse in their execution. In the total mass of body kits, three main directions for their tuning can be distinguished, which are presented in a large assortment in the DDaudio online store.

1. Plastic overlays (aka skirts and aprons).

They are installed in the ground clearance between the wheels, with the track part adjacent to the thresholds. In addition to the fact that these devices give the vehicle a sporty and dynamic look, they also have quite practical advantages:

• improving aerodynamics by streamlining the direction of air flow, thereby preventing the appearance of turbulence and increasing downforce;
• preventing coating damage and premature wear by limiting contact with environmental factors;
• extending the service life of the body and eliminating the need for premature repairs, which can occur from hitting stones, hitting obstacles and, accordingly, metal corrosion.

Thus, this car accessory can serve well even when you don't expect it from such a body kit element. The traditional material for it is plastic, but aluminum products are also found. As a rule, the linings require painting in the color of the car, which is done over the existing layer of soil.

2. Footrests.

They are made in the form of volumetric flat structures that provide an additional support surface for the convenience of boarding passengers and loading luggage. This is its main purpose, although decorative and protective components are also present in this part. Usually they are made of super-strong aluminum alloy, resistant to wear, with a rubberized surface, but products made of other materials can be found on the market.

3. Side protection.

It is a rigid tubular body kit along the sill line, on the surface of which there are plastic or rubberized attacks. This design has the following purpose:

• protect the body in possible accidents and breakdowns;
• prevent damage to thresholds when accidentally hitting curbs, colliding with hard surfaces, or throwing stones;
• provide convenient boarding and loading.

In addition, they play a rather noticeable decorative role, especially if you consider them in the same ensemble with a kenguryatnik or arches. The main material for this type of product is high-strength steel with one or more chrome coatings.
