I can't figure out exactly how to mount these FEED sideskirts. I remove the black thingy in the rear, and the mudflap in the front, I see there is two divots in the rear of the skirt, which I assume are to be drilled through and I am to use the black thing's screws. Also, the front appears to be attached by a larger body bolt in the front most divot on the skirt. I'm concerned about alignment, being sure I have the right holes, etc. Any advice on mounting, which holes to use, finding the exact drilling location, etc?

Is it the CF side skirts from chuck? You can probably PM him and ask for directions

Yeah, thanks.. I anyone else?

maybe you can ask jspec7, has them installed

you dont need to take the mudflaps off..... if you pay attention to the contour of the side skirts...... you'll notice that the front end tapers down to fit with the mud flaps.





there are two bolts in front of the rear wheels and behind the front wheels..... take them off



then drill a hole on aproximately where they would insert on the side skirts



use 3m double sided tape and place the side skirts wehre they are supposed to be, place back the screws (dont forget to use washers)



and voila!!! you're done

I took the mudflaps off. I noticed the taper and thought it was for style or something. I guess I've never seen the skirts with the flaps on. I could only get proper fittment with the rearmost front bolt and the two rear bolts in. Now, I need some 3M double sided tape to reinforce. Jeez, that was an easy install, I'm such a baby when it comes to drilling expensive things!!

Thanks Brothers! (Literally)

just be sure to get everything super clean before you use the

double sided tape.

Thanks, that is an important reminder. The tape doesn't stick well to dirt! I just need my detail guy to come out and buff the under-mudflap area, to match the rest of my fresh detail work.
