I mesured and the front bumper takes away 2" of gc. The rear bumper takes away 5" gc. The side skirts are just as low as the rest of the body kit . I lookd and dont think rivets will work because the body kit is to far way from the body. I could rivet the bottom of the side skirts but not the sides. Their was this white glue that was on 2 pieces of my side skirts that held really astrong I had to pry them apart so I wil probably use what ever that was.
that stuff doesnt just slap on there...your gonna have to manipulate it to make it fir the way you want....that means pushing it and streching it and possibly shaving parts of it off,,,,then it ill be a greAt fit

what do you its too far off the body??? it pressed right up against the side...
So just drill new holes in the cars metal body and a holee in the side skert and then rivet it? Will they paint it with it mounted on the car?

i dont think it makes difference to them... just drill through the sideskirt and the metal, rivet it, then have them run a quick coat of bondo or glazing puddy over it, sand it, and mask it off and paint it... should be fine... it's a lot stronger than glue or tape

i thought you were gettin the whole body painted... if not then i would just bring the kit to them, tell them to paint it and mount it, they'll do all the work for you... and if it falls off they'll have to fix it
