Question Fujita Feed Style Sideskirts on a FC?!

Came across these pics for a group buy on the forum! Digging the simple look to it without the added bulkiness. Any thoughts?

Odula makes a similar style sideskirt that is actually made for the fc chassis. Those look ok, but seem a little off. Our car doesn't curve in mid door like the fd. That section of the skirt looks odd bolted on an fc.

I don't think these FD skirts on the FC would look like they fit right.

I had my FC parked next to my friends FD w/skirts and we agreed that the fit would be weird.

I made a quick CAD model to see if my suspicions were right. My dimension are probably off a little because I had to base the model off the photo in referenced post.

I just don't like the exposed mounting surface towards the rear tire. You could hide that by rotating the skirt but then you would have a pronounced bend showing and the front would be sticking out.

I would like the Odula style knock off skirt better.
