iS side skirt Question....

[Matt-B]

I have a 1991 318is.

Bought some OEM factory iS skirts to mount to my car ( total of 4 pieces) However I cant particularly mount them how they were made to be from the factory. Pinch welds are gone beyond belief and I'm wondering.


Is there suggestion and ways people have mounted them.

I was thinking double sided tape. screws on the ends?

any input is appreciated.....

Scared to know where to drill the holes?
What kind of hardware did they give you also besides bottom clips??

[Matt-B]

ill screw them on end.. no bottom clips. i cant use them cause pinch welds are essentially gone

I Think mine is the same way.

oduble sided tape and secrews on the end holds my taurus skirts on good, i dont know how the is skirts are but i would imagine it would work just as good.

There was a local guy (Sumner) who put his IS side skirts on with two self tapper tech screws on front and back (end cap area) and 3M double sided tape. Worked like a charm.

Matt, screw them on the ends, and use double-sided tape along the top and bottom edges of the skirts. That should do it.

so wait, OEM IS skirts do not bolt up correctly from the factory?? that suks..

[Matt-B]

if they came factory. they screw and bolt to the under pinch welds and screwed from ends. My welds are fucked lol


I think that should do it guys. Ill paint them and get screws and tape. maybe 1 or 2 screws underneath if there is room.

Did you get these locally? Portland/Seattle?? I think I saw the add and wanted to jump on 'em. They were already sold though...

...stuck with the Taurus specials.

[Matt-B]

lol i had taurus ones to.


there were on r3v for like 120$ missing 1 cap piece. it was 29$ i think new. so less then 150 for OEM skirts aint bad IMO

[fiftytakedowns]

I already got hte OEM hardware, im jsut scarred to start drilling lol

[Matt-B]

can i get pics of what all you got? or 1 of each and how there supposed to be used?

Once you drill the holes are there :( forever

I got a pair of those E36 M3 twist skirts for FREE from a guy on here. Not my favourite but definitely better than no skirts. I tried just screwing the ends in, but there was a bit of warpage that was too strong for the 3M double sided tape to hold so I just screwed them in every 2-3 feet and then went over the screws with a factory match touch up pen. Looks too legit to quit.
