Is anyone running the factory sport sideskirts? I got a new set and am going to get the clips and get them mounted. Just wondering what is involved with mounting the clips, etc.

When I was working on Tony's car (came with them from the factory) I took at look at how they mount. It looks like a series of holes are drilled in the rocker panel, then the clips insert. Similar to how the door moldings are held on.
The ETK might show where to put them.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast

Sounds similar to my mtech 1 skirts - they're mounted by those pop in clips along the top and are anchored down along the bottom through a series of screws / rubber backing plates.Comment

OK, thanks guys. I'm going to get all the clips and pieces from the dealer, hopefully they will have a template I can get also.

there are zlips that mount to the metal lip underneath the rocker panel, the one the jack fits around. Also holes are drilled and to the side and little plastics ppegs get pushed nto the holes on the side.Comment

he's talking to me. He sold me a new set of foglights and they have been in my car all of about 30 minutes. Now sitting on a shelf. I'll probably end up selling them since the car is mainly going to be on the track from now on.Originally posted by nefarious7907

I've seen so many price ranges on fogs, I wouldn't even know where to start on "pretty much brand new" fogs. Throw me a price if you decide to sell them or not.Originally posted by brodeeComment

and if you decide not to buy it, count me next in line. I'd be interested in them.Originally posted by permit~ Go Canucks Go! ~
