I had to cut down the edges where you put the yellow tabs on because they weren't lining up with the holes in the car (they needed to be up higher). It'll make more sense when you see the pics

That being said, I didn't finish the installation.. i ran out of time and had to do some stuff. I'll try to get it working tomorrow and take pics

Hey guys, there's a reason why there are no pics..it's because no one has been able to get them on due to misalignment of the rear clips. They are about 2-3 mm lower then they should be and so can't snap them on easily. I was able to clip one on only, but with much difficulty. I broke a couple of clips forcing them and just went and bought some more. I will try bending them up...but from what i saw last night, they weren't bent down or anything, but more straight ahead, so I don't know if that will help, but I'll try it again tonight.

On a side note..the skirts are alot thinner and lighter then the original batch, so this allows for more flex. Material seems pretty durable as well, and paint is once again, top notch. If only they will fit!!!

preciseeye, it helps to shave off some of the edge that the clip leans up against. that will let it sit higher... the wedge something under (i used folded over sandpaper).

i gave up for tonight though

I tried cutting the edges as well, and it does make it higher, however, the clips loses grip and doesnt stay on well..might have to make a new groove or something

The back can be worked out if its just the clips, I want to know if the front lines up nice and flush with the front part of the ledge that the sideskirts fit into. That part was not a great fit from the first batch. The rears if its just the clips a simple dremel and some time will make it fit nicely. I am not too worried about the rears but more the front. Guys give me some feedback of the front fitment

The front is iffy...When the back was somewhat aligned...the front looked like this...i tried to push the front in but there was resistance and it just poped back out. Keep in mind the bolt underneath the skirt is in place. When i pushed the skirt towards the rear a little ...it took the alignment of the rear clip area out..but then the front was able to go in better.

Needless to say, there is some work that will need to be done to get this to fit adequately. It will not be a simple installation.


In this pic, the rear clips were not snapped on...

cut the clips atleast half inch to 3/4 of inch down and your good to go ....its dark I'll have pics tomorrow

Only thing is might get new green gromets that the yellow clips go into...they could fit tighter. Think I could get those from the dealer? Tisher?
