    Zender Skirt install

    I picked up a set of Zender side skirts, the ones that come up the fenders, and I was wondering if anyone had any mounting techniques to get these things on my car OTHER than drilling holes along the rockers. I know these came with holes in them so that is basically the correct mounting technique but I dont like that.

    But if I do decide to go the drilling holes route, does anyone possibly have a like diagram that has proper measurments as to where the holes need to be?

    any help is greatly appreciated.

        ^+1 dont do that. I just removed skirts from a parts car and not only were the screws all rust but so was the body. Do it right.

                I think most people use double sided tape

                      If you do end up drilling, just use a sharpie or other permenant marker and mock up the skirts with tape, put dots where the holes are. Hope it helps.

                        loctite makes a double sided tape that is super strong. http://www.acehardware.com/product/i...LAID=160043391

                        If for some reason you did fasten it to the car pop rivets look way better than some screws.

                          I just looked at what I assume are the same Zender side skirts today. So double sided tape is the way to go? I also don't want to drill holes in the rockers.

                          But those side skirts are pretty heavy, the guy selling them told me that they basically have a metal core.

                            I JUST installed my sideskirts with 3m double sided tape. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE ADHESION PROMOTER. It's a little foam wipe that comes in a packet. Once you put it on, it's ON.

                              What specific 3M tape did you use? And the adhesion promoter comes with the tape?

                              I'd love to see some pictures. :)

                              Btw these are the skirts I was looking at:



                              I wasn't sure which was the front or back tho haha.
