Side skirts for Cali

As many of you out there already know, the time has come for most trailers operating in California to have new "aerodynamic" additions to be put in place. As many of you out there have not put new side skirts on your trailers, is there anyone out there that has?
Where can a fella find these new side skirts and have them installed?

Before the "stay out of cali" comments start rolling in, someone answer the question please

 

Ps---- any place in or near L.A. That sells/installs them? I love me LA

 

Transtex. Under 1k and sit high enough to avoid most scraping.

 

can you fabricate your own?

 

I am having the aerofficient side skirt put on on thursday. They are doing the install at Livonia MI. They claim 7-11% fuel savings which I really truly believe. I have used the cheap ones that don't extend all the way to the trailer axles and also do not hang very low to the ground and saw a consistent 4-5% fuel savings. The cost is roughly double what the cheap ones are.

 

I've noticed some Landstar trailers have a aero device in front of the tandems and no skirts, is this a better way to go?

 

You would have to submit the design to CARB and have them approve. Any decent manufacturers designs are already approved.

 

Utility Trailer's product is a kevlar skirt that is mounted using spring steel brackets. The brackets allow the skirts to flex to the sides in a high-clearance dock, and the kevlar just abrades a little where it scrapes the ground. That's the best product I've seen yet - my carrier has had a number of different products on the newer trailers for the last 3 years or so.

 

Transtex is that a just a dealer of the skirts or do they mount them as well?

 

Transtex is one that Great Dane installs at the factory. The dealers will install for about 6hrs labor. My shop just installed one this morning(doing 5 of the older trailers),took 4 1/2 hrs. All you need is a drill and air riveter and a few basic tools.
