dont use glue if u want to take it off later, u will have an ugly mess, or it will destroy the paint.

wait wait wait... You just got it back from the body shop and the side skirts are falling off? Um TAKE IT BACK TO THEM. Have them mold those things in. No offense but taped and glued kits look ghetto fabulous. Get it done right. WHy pay 700-1000 on a kit and then half a$$ it?

oh no they're not falling off, just the side skirt has gaps in the center. the skirts don't hug the body. so....1/2 adhesive tape is the best route?

i wish i could do that. the shop that did it were total *******s. they made me pay them an extra 100 bucks because they had to respray my rear bumper. the paint rain the first time and then they sprayed it again, the paint was fine but then the clear coat ran. so they made me pay them an extra 100 bucks, for "extra materials", for their **** up. i agrued with them for awhile about it, but the didn't seem to be persueded. they also said that if i didn't pay they would take me to court, i said screw and just paid them. they lost business with me, thats for sure!

Better Business Bureau... that is BS for them to f it up and make you pay more for them to fix it! I say let them take you to court! They won't have much of a case!

for the repaint mess take them to court for it. they cant charge for their mistakes.

as for the sideskirts...you can go to an autobody supply store or autopaint store and pick up OEM 1/2 heavy duty double sided tape for the sideskirts they are usually grey or black its the same **** factories use to put the OZ sideskirts on [its not an epoxy glue] it comes off like it is but if you take it off the adhesive leaves a outline too straight to be epoxy glue.
