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.

rakugaki 11-21-2002 12:17 AM

so the kit has to be intalled and painted with the car? i wouldn't know... :bow: ;(

ebpda9 11-21-2002 12:20 AM

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?

how did u put them on and with what? are those black widow skirts? it looks nice...

rakugaki 11-21-2002 01:13 AM

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.

ShEaNy 11-21-2002 01:20 AM

so basically there hanging by a thread lol....dont drive with em like that....get it down right...body shop or something...

rakugaki 11-21-2002 01:38 AM

no way! i just put them on temporarily, i guess i can put it on with out painting it for a while... but i don't want to be like the other people in my parking lot! ;(

ShEaNy 11-21-2002 01:19 PM

rakugai..can u take a sideview picture of ur car? with the unpainted sideskirts on. I wanna see how ur car looks like..I like the rims.

ShEaNy 11-22-2002 12:24 AM

2 days...more like a week...at least...:yes:

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...

rakugaki 11-23-2002 09:19 PM

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