They look naked without them IMHO. Like something is missing. Mine are off right now along with all the chrome trim, bumpers, mirrors, wheel covers etc. I can't believe how much the bumpers add to length of the car. It looks like almost two feet! It is currently at the body shop or do I dare say car "Salon" getting new paint and vinyl top done. I can't wait for it to be completed so the rebuild can begin!

The question was a bit more broad however at "did any of the imps have fender skirts". Std vs. Optional would be a whole new can of worms. I've always wondered why they made them optional in 78...more cost cutting attempts maybe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher H" <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 3:13 PM Subject: Re: IML: fender skirts The skirts were actually made optional on the 1978 NYBs!
