make sure your body shop test fits the side skirts first before painting. Very important. That way they can sand it downso that it fits ok. I had the replicas installed. Everybody shop is a little diff. Mine is attached with foam tape to prevent the side skirts from rubbing and damaging the body paint along with one screw on each end. On top of that the body shop I went to riveted the top of the side skirts where the door sill is.

i paid a good amount but they made it fit great. They bondoed and sanded my skirts a few times because of the shitty quality. Its smooth with no waves and the paint matches nicely. The place is Chow's Autobody in San francisco. Talk to Kevin. He knows me. I've taken my cars there to get work done.
