Are these things difficulty to install?

I am thinking of getting these sideskirts from eBay. The price seems right, they look pretty good. Any advice?

Conradtan, is PerfectLap bending your arm?

How are you with a glue gun? (j/k).

And yes...my favorite tools are glue-guns, duct tape and hammers. Hehe...

Conradtan, sorry. Too much inside humor.

PerfectLap is a very active Forum member who loves (may have invented) side skirts!

I think it is easy. There are a few clips on the underside, and then some sticky tape that holds the leading edges along the door and body line.

I am sure a more knowledgable Forum member will chime in here.

I bought those myself, guy here in Houston is the seller.

Couple of points for you to be aware of:

1. No hardware will come with them at all.

2. Fiberglass

3. Although he states "Perfect Fitment" they do not (undercarriage holes/clips will not line up)

4. I had mine painted Arctic Silver, and after I seen what they looked like on prior to drilling new holes (yeah) and gluing them on I told them not to.

5. I have a pair for sell cheap!

Tape? Are you serious? Glue? I though you guys were kidding. So glue and tape will hold? Ok I'm kind of concerned now. I don't want these things flying off while I'm on the freeway. You got some side skirts for sale?
