What is the plastic protective panel under the car door called?
1 Answers
The plastic protective panel under the car door is called a side skirt. Below is relevant information about automotive side skirts: 1. Introduction: A car side skirt refers to a decorative panel installed below the doors on both sides of the vehicle. As part of the body aerodynamic kit, its aesthetic appeal is secondary - when properly installed, it can reduce countercurrent airflow generated during driving. 2. Function: When driving at high speeds, the side skirt can decrease air resistance. It also functions similarly to an air dam by reducing airflow entering the undercarriage from both sides, providing certain aerodynamic effects that can significantly reduce air resistance under specific conditions.
