Side skirts...
hey guys! man, i got board, so i put my sideskirts on my car. I can't have them installed by a pro yet cause i don't have money (and don't know where), and i'm still waiting on my friend to hook it up with a paint job. anyway, check it out~!
Anyway, does anybody know how the body shop installs body kits? do they drill new holes, or use the factory bolts? btw my kit's all fiberglass...   |

is that fibergalss ? if it is just have them installed and let them unpainted for a while to have the stress cracks worked out, then paint them.

no you can paint them separately while on the car. just let the kit work the stress cracks for a bit before painting it.

so like, doesn't the body shop mold on my body kit before they paint it? So i guess my question now is how am i supposed to keep them on without having them fall off while I'm driving?

thanks! yup, bw, they kinda stuck there from both sides, but if i tried to adjust it more, it would drop. :o It looks like i would screw them on from one side, but that's not what's going to hold it up.

depending on who works on your car.. everyone has their own ways... a good way is where the guys double side tape the skirt then drill them into the factory one...

you think the factory clips would work well? or should i just stick with self-tapping screws?
