Skirts & lip installation. Anyone done it?

Just curious what's involved in a self-installation of the GTS side skirts and lips extensions onto an ES or DS. Anyone done it? How do they attach?

Drill a lot of holes.

The Dams are just bolt on and the skirts use a combo of clips and tape with a couple of screws.

No I'M serious. Ive installed one and you have to drill a lot of holes. 7 for each of the dams and 10 for each of the skirts. You really don't need anything except maybe touch up paint for the holes for the skirts cause there your drilling into the body of the car and don't want it to rust. You also need a philips screw driver and and drill and 8mm bit.

Well some degreaser and cloth to clean up where the tape for the skirts is going to be applied. That's pretty much all. the Instructions are easy enough to follow.

Yea I've also installed both the front air dam and the side skirts. The front air dam was a piece of cake, can't go wrong there. You just need to take the front bumper off and drill holes into the pre-marked holes on the bumper. The side skirts are a little more complicated since you'll need to mark the holes yourself. I installed one with my brother who hadn't read the instructions and didn't really care about my car and it was a total failure (about 4 plastic screws out of 9 I think could not go in). So I did the next one all bymyself and it was flawless (all screws went into place). So yea be careful with the side skirts. And if your getting help from someone make sure he knows how important it is to mark the holes correctly.
