Installation - Feed Replica Sideskirts

bbade · 02-23-2009, 10:50 PM

Hey guys I recently purchased a set of feed replica sideskirts from Shine Auto. I haven't gotten them yet, but plan to install them when I get home for spring break.

Any advice on how to install? I'm thinking self-tapping screws with some silicon to prevent water getting in.

Thanks in advance.

There are 3 bolts that you can use that are already there, 2 on the front fender and 1 that holds the rear lower spoiler. I also added 2 POP NUT™ Blind Rivet Nuts to the center area. Machine screws are fine, but it leaves a point where the rocker panels can start to rust.

Thanks chadwick, did you leave the inner part of the rear lower spoiler on or take the whole thing off?

You remove the plastic piece in front of the rear wheel. The sideskirts have two indentions that line up with bolts removed from that plastic piece. Start with those and the rest lines up from there.
