    How to straighten warped side skirts???

    I have just picked up an Original ACS kit and the side skirts are a bit warped.....Yes they are used but they are a legit kit!!! Is is just a matter of leaving them in the sun???
    Please let me know or point me in the right direction!! Thanks!!

      Just mount them. Even if they are slightly warped the sun will bake them straight.

              ^^^ My ACS skirts got slightly warped when my body shop pulled them off. Leaving them in the sun didn't fix it, nor did mounting them. I think you're going to need to apply some heat.

                  It is a combo of mounting and heat gun. Reason for mounting it THEN heat gun is; that if it looks great on the car then you are done ;)

                      bring them to a body shop and see if they will throw them in the booth with the next car they paint.
