#11740, "Installing the Blitz side skirts on a 98 RS"


          

Got a quick question for you guys. I have a set of the Blitz Side Skirts for my RS. I was wondering if anyone has had experience installing them on there cars, and what was the most effective way of doing it. I had the factory side skirts put on my RS, and they never really had a tight factory fit, always seemed to have a little wiggle room. If anyone has any suggestions, as how to mold them to the car for a tight look.

Don't mold it unless you really want to risk it. If you hit something and it cracks, you'll have to redo it and repaint your rear quarter panels. Install should be 2 screws in each fender well, and 3 under where the door opens. I would try to use double sided tape to hold the top of the skirt to the quarter panel, or else you will have to drill and use screws, or rivets.

when they are molded, the rear 1/4s have to be painted as well right?

Yup, both would have to be painted.

I suggest using ribbets..make the holes with a drill then use the ribbets and cover it with some marglass and some bondo and then paint it...will look nice and neat



I miss you mom, you are always with me RIP...
