I don't mind at all, but mine are fiberglass so they are pretty stiff. I didn't use 3m tape on mime. Drilled holes at the mounting points. I did get new plastic mounting clips that go into the side. The screw does go in and hooks up pretty well.

Honestly the gap is suprisingly clean. Getting my Nismo this Friday. Jose is going to be tired of seeing my car.

How much did those clips run you? Do the sides screw on in the wheel well and sides as shown in your pics? If i'm not mistaken aren't there screws on the bottom of the oem sideskirts? Did you have to screw them in on the bottom as well?

Apologies for so many questions. I'm ordering mine already painted from klumzyee soon and i just want a clearer idea of what i may come up against while installing. Thanks for the info!

so what did you end up doing about your ride bro? Did you get it fixed or something new? Did you get your nismo bumper from Eric as well?

I'm getting the EXACT same sideskirts (I have a TB as well) this thread helped me know what they'd look like in TB, thanks for that.. and You've given me the confidence to attempt putting it on myself... I think I'll try to put on my K2 front as well.. Got a quote for 250 to install them both.. I think I'll just do it myself.. That's more out of my modding fund...

aight.. good to know... and you're in McKinney.. We might be meeting up after all bro.. LMAO.. Yeah 250 was a bit steep for me to pay for an install that should be easy.. Might have to pay that to install my springs to lower the ride.. But not for bumper and sideskirts..

W/ Eric's bumper and skirts you have to drill the holes yourself huh? No problem. just wondering what to expect.

Getting it fixed now. I also got an AVIC-F900BT, so I'm itching to install it into the car.

For now, I have a G37 sedan for a rental car. I'm surprised that Enterprise had them as rentals. It's definitely a faster car.

^oh nice... Hmmmm... I might have to bite that idea... Did you get a good deal somewhere?

So you're getting to do an "extended test drive".. That's good.. make up for the wrong that was done to you..
