side skirt

Vehicle body panel

A side skirt is a panel running along the lower edge of a vehicle's body between the front and rear wheel wells.

Side skirts reduce air turbulence beneath the car, improving aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.

On performance and modified cars, they're often styled for aggressive appearance: The new body kit includes carbon fiber side skirts.
