Help installing a body kit
Tuesday, November 16, 2010 8:11 PM
i got a xenon body kit for pretty cheap and the front and rear bumpers match up perfectly but the side skirts im having some problems getting on.. the insides of the bow outward and that and i can't figure out how to get them to stay where they should.. i tried double sided tape.. many brands but no luck at all

did your car come with a body kit installed prior to this kit? if not, are there holes for the clips used to hold the skirts on? are you useing the clips?. are the skirts intended to be clipped or taped into place?.

no bought the kit from someone else after i got tired of my old bumpers not looking good at all. there are holes where it looks like they should be attached to the body but i have no clips for them or anything

If I recall about those xenon sides, there are a bitch.

you will have to probably rivet them in to get them to stay or try using some urethane? a buddy of mine did that and i think it worked, maybe im wrong?

If your talking about the windshield urethane, it works. My buddy did his skirts on his grand am that way and he'll have a hell of a time getting them off.

u could use the urethane, just pray that you never need to remove a fender if you do this with your sideskirts.

If youre going to put them on do it right, a few options to find them would be ebay,dealership,gmparts.com,you pull it.. dont rivet ,dont glue..ect ect.. should you need to take them off later for some reason you want to be able to do it easily with as little damage to the skirts as possible.

how are you saying that i should put them off? right now i just have them taped and zip tied on there but the middle of them wont stick and sag out and you can see the gap between the car and the skirt
