I bought a set of 03 side skirts to put on and i was trying to figure how would they get install. Since the 00/01 dont have holes for the little pins that hold the rocker panel sides. I also notice that only in the front part of the car there are holes to hold the sideskirts.
So people who have done this can you guys tell me how you did it and if you took them to a shop to get them install how much did you pay. I want to know how much should i expect to pay for a shop to install them.

Thanks everyone for the help in advance.

 

The sideskirts mount under the door, don't push it up under the crack between the door and the frame.

On either end of the sideskirt there are holes, 2 in the rear 3 in the front, they line up with the holes that were made for the mudflaps, once you have that, it should mount up easy. I went to a hardware store, bought self tapping screws, 1" long with washers and just drilled into the tabs into the frame of the car. It took about 20 mins each side.

 

I did the same but w/o drilling, the front and back screws should be enough to hold them in place.

 

post some pix when you get it done.

 

this is a simple thing to do, when I had 02-03 skirts I just screwed it up on the front and rear and I think I ran a few screws from under on the tabs

 

I had to run a strip of 3m double sided mounting tape along the entire length of the top of the sideskirt to hold the top end from separating from the car. It looks good now, but before (and since we can use the clips to keep it tight to the car) the rocker panel(which is the official name for the 'side skirts') looked like they were coming off the car. Now they are stuck on real tight and they look great.

DrOmed.

P.S. Make sure you use the wide (about 1/2 inch wide) tape. The thin one does not do a good job of holding the panels in place.

Good Luck.

 

doesnt matter what size tape you use its ultimately simple... just use drill two screws through the wheel fender in the fron and rear and just for assurance if u want, one in the middle of the lip where the front and rear doors are, u can use 3M also thats fine, doesnt really matter how much u use

finished product on my 00 GXE








and i didnt even use that much 3M

 

Thanks guys I was worry thinking i had to drill holes all around the sides.
If have a shop do it how much would be a decent price to pay.?

If i put them on i'll post pictures.

Thinking that needed to drill holes on the sides i put them for sale on the for sale section.
I will take them down.

Thanks everyone.

 

u can just sell em to me lls... no need for a shop, if i can do it a sensless dummy can (yep thats how i feel ) if a shop does it they'll probebly charge u for an hr's work when its really about a 1/2hr... if u was in MD i'd do it for ya for lil or nothin

 

The only reason im thinking about taking them to a shop is because they are silver my car gold and I dont know how paint them.

 

get em painted before you install

 

I went the whole 9 yards and drilled holes for push tabs on the inside of the 02 sideskirts, then the obvious front and rear screws, but just skipped screwing the tabs on the underside because i was scared they'd rust alot faster.

 

rust... u did all that and just stop because of something u thought would happen.................................... i didnt even use the push tab blah blah's... i use some black drywall screws that i took from my work truck and just drilled in the frame... believe me ppl, its not that much to it as you guys are thinking... it really isnt... its a very simple task (and when me... Grand_hustle says something about a car is simple... it's really simple)..... this is all coming from a guy who installs nothing on his car... not intake, not block off plate, not even my 8K d2r bulbs, but this one was too easy
