Pacific rim body kit guys! Need help
Picked this up, as you can see the front foot and a half or so on the passenger side is not there 
I have a fantastic fiberglass guy who said he could fix it, he just needs something to make a mold of. We agreed the front the side skirt (driver side) nearly looks identical to the rear. He's planning on making a mold of the back of the driver side, skirt, and using that to fix the front of the passenger side, skirt.
Anyone know or can see any differences between the front and the back of the side skirts?
Thanks!

Why not try taking the driver side off and installing it on the passenger side. You should get your answer if it looks right. Other than the maybe take measurements or trace it out on a huge sheet of cardboard or paper and compare shapes.

Get some open-cell rigid foam (hobby store, florist-supply store, etc), & shape it to fit onto the body, then sculpt it to match the shape of the skirt on the other side by marking the complete skirt's outline out on tracing paper or cardboard, then reversing it. That rigid foam abrades away easily with coarse sandpaper or Surform tools, etc., but doesn't flex much and will hold shapes well.
Once shaped, glass or bondo over it to get a smooth, rigid "positive" and then use it to make a mold for your glass guy to work from. Couple afternoons' work, probably.
