yea, trimming would be the next step, but i would prefer not to trim if there are better instructions, and since these were suppose to be '100% direct fitment' . I don't know why (maybe from the constant problems and delays) but the logical side of me is very pessimistic about these instructions. I mean..between the 6-7 of us who aren't able to install something that's supposed to be very simple and have already had experience with installing these in the past, there's got to be something seriously wrong. But I really, really hope there is a simple solution, for everyone's sake.

When will the instructions be ready? Mach you said it was being worked on Wednesday and would get to us the following day. Then it's the translation problem. Now it's delayed till the weekend cause he's busy. Will it be Saturday then? or Sunday? or will there be more delays do to Pat still being busy, or something else.

Is anyone's else patience wearing thin? or is it just me? I know some of the other guys arent speaking out and that's ok, but being a business owner myself, I understand that customer satisfaction is # 1 priority, and one of the thing that gets to customers is promising something and not following through. I think all of us have been EXTREMELY patience with this whole ordeal, but enough is enough.

Over promising and Under delivering seems to be the theme in this entire thread.

Sorry, just had to vent.

MarinoB stated his was installed, but why hasn't he posted any pics for us and if his are on, maybe tell us what he did to make them fit....I trimmed one little piece and then gave up to wait for the instructions...still waiting till they come...

MarinoB · 04-17-2009, 03:19 PM

Mach@M-Force_Design · 04-17-2009, 03:21 PM

trimming to the first red line allowed some of the pegs in the tabs to go into their holes... trimming a bit more would make it even easier. I think I might just go and do this now, i don't feel like waiting.

jpsimon · 04-17-2009, 03:30 PM

thanks Marino, those look good

pdjafari · 04-17-2009, 03:30 PM

so when do i get my skirts?? I have paid Kev months/weeks ago so I'm receiving his ...

MarinoB · 04-17-2009, 03:34 PM

guys its really not that complicated...the tabs that the yellow clips go onto need to be trimmed. Mine even had black marker on the bottom of them almost looked like a guide as to what you need to trim off. I had to trim a little above that to get them to fit perfect. in the front of the skirt measure the width of the tab, mine was 1/4 of an inch too wide. After trimming the front went in all the way. Oh and if your yellow tabs are too loose after cutting stick in a piece of plastic/cardboard whatever in them to make them fit snug on the tabs.

jpsimon · 04-17-2009, 03:35 PM

well you did exactly what I was doing.. guess I'll just continue

in other new your car looks awesome

Mach@M-Force_Design · 04-17-2009, 03:45 PM

There are many ways to install the skirt, Marino found a way, there is another way too. Which we will be explaining later on today in our instructions.
You do not necessarily need to trim the yellow clip down, however it seems like Marino did that and it had no problems.

lol well Mach thats why I really didnt want to say how I did it till you posted your instructions. Dont want people cutting there skirts then yelling at me haha. Yes thats how I did it and it worked if you dont want to do what I did then wait for Machs instructions. The most important thing is that they line up perfectly! They are definetly better then the last batch. Oh and the material is way stronger.

CV335 · 04-17-2009, 03:48 PM

I'm getting nervous by all this trimming talk. I hope Pat's instructions are clear so that no trimming is necessary.
