#17125, "help installing factory skirts"


          

I just bought a pair of factory skirts, but I'm not sure how to install them. Do I need to make holes for the grommets? Or, just forget about the gromets and used some double sided sticky crap.
Anyone who has already done this, please help! Or atleast refere me to an earlier post.

Thanks,

Corey

I drilled holes. Its not very hard. I think if you use good enough tape it would be ok. But i would hate to see you post again saying that you lost your skirts on the interstate. I think drilling holes and using grommets would be the stongest way to do it

i did mine yesterday, drilling is better, if you are nervous about it, dont be if you mess up it will be covered up anyway. put paint on the grommets and put is up to the side of you car. the paint marks are wheere you need to drill, make sure you meausre and line up after each hole you drill.

use something thats diameter is a little smaller than the grommets. Just make sure its smaller and not bigger because if its too big, the grommets will just slide right through the hole and wont latch on to it.

Put the tip of your drill bit against the tip of the grommet (face to face) and make sure its a little smaller
