Arrived today and promptly installed.

I elected to use only double sided 3M heavy duty tape. This way I could remove them if desired down the road without drilling into the underside of the rockers with the supplied self tapping screws.

Provides a more balanced and a defined lower edge. Most wouldn't even know they've been added. I kept them mostly flush with the existing trim panel.

No interest in opting for the Maxton Design front lower spoiler or rear side edge splitters ... gets a little too heavy looking for me at that point.

Clean look desired and achieved imo.

isn't it ridiculous that you can only see about 20% of the whole product?
(not getting down on you, getting down on the side skirts.)

i have the artisan spirits side skirts that utilize the factory trim screws...i don't trust 3m vhb tape.
crazy thing is that 80% of the side skirts are hidden under the car. :crazy:

you definitely are a contender for the cleanest car award bro! :)

~ Thanks for those kind words... even though I sold my auto detail business back in 2001... the perfectionist in me is ingrained in my dna. Therapeutic in some weird way. 🤪

I'm not sure that double sided tape is going to hold.. unless you have a jack or something putting pressure on the adhesive for over 24hours constantly while it cures.

Even if you used a few screws, it will be night/day different in how secure it is on the car long term. No one asked, but I usually use well nuts for side skirt/splitter installs. You can get them locally at your Ace Hardware, etc. or even Amazon has them.

~ Yep I have full pressure between the ground and newly installed skirts evenly from front to back while the tape cures.
