Wheel Fenders, Fairings, Skirts, Covers

[Neal]

Still cool and Elio mpg functional. Fender skirts did match the body color. I like the idea of installing Elio's 'fender skirts' for road trips or highway commutes and removing them for in town use.

That is a great idea! Hadn't thought of that

My latest think tank idea is a hard case saddlebag option that quick attaches to the rear wheel fairing for some added storage space for long trips.......or even in town errands for that matter. Similar to these MC Hard Case Bags, but with styling similar to the Elio front fenders. The Elio may even appear to be a four wheeler! LOL

That would be very cool with the airless tire someone posted some time back. The "spokes" could be the color of your Elio. Anyone remember where that was posted? I have to leave for a doctor's appointment in Eugene in 15 minutes so don't have time to look. :-) Z

Forget the back, put those suckers on the front wheels!, it would be cool to have the turn signals there.

In my day, they were cool. We called them fender skirts

Just because old people thought something was cool, doesn't make it so. I'm sure that the next generation will likewise be confused about what is actually cool!

Yes it does! Old people coined the word and defined cool and still recognize cool when we see it!

LOL... I wonder if, in 10 years, people will think selfies are cool. I can see the old guys now "Back in my day, we didn't have friends who could use a camera and taking our pictures in bathrooms was the epitome of cool." I still don't get the early military pictures where the guys have the bills of their caps rolled up. I did, however, see a guy squinting at a ball game.. yup, he was wearing his hat backwards... like a .... Well, this is a polite forum. color me not impressed though, either way.

So where is the link?o_O I was on my way out the door and did not have time to find it. I only remembered reading it some where so I asked someone else to help out.

Probably no, 'link',.... if it was a verbal conversation during a 'TOUR' showing. Interesting how some people are 'too busy' to do a [Search] themselves...... but think others, should do it FOR THEM. On the "way out the door", and couldn't wait until return..... for an answer?

Touche! To be fair, when I took off my hardhat in the bathroom that day, I saw my hair had arranged itself in a "fauxhawk" and wanted to get a picture before running my head under the faucet.

I could see a set of those or similar bags, mounted to posts/studs affiixed to the rear cage of the Elio, kinda like the pods mounted similar to rear engine private jets. That would be "Cool".
