Hahaha, dude forreal. The car looks weird w/o side skirts on. I took mine off and was like wow, it looks like the bottom half of my car is missing, hahahaha.

I'll take some pics of the lift at work today, sorry I was real busy yesterday.

lovin your drop...but with roads and a steep cold-a-sac driveway...even half an inch would cause me to scratch...another question...how many bolts does it to install? 8 on the AIT (2 front wheel well, 4 across the side skirt, and 2 in rear wheel well) thnx

OK, I took some pics of the arms on my lift.

This first pic shows the flap up on the closest arm, and the flap down on the arm in the back.


Flaps down. Both the large and small sides flap up, but the small one is all you need. The large one is used for trucks and vans, etc.


Flap up.



The GReddy sides have I believe like 2 screws in the front fender and 2 in the rear fender. As well as about 8 more on the bottom side under the car. And there is room for I believe 4 more screws or rivets on the top side, behind where the door sits when its closed.

If the flap was not up, the circled area of the above pic would come in contact with the side skirt and break it. So yes, you need to put that flap up first. The only problem is, usually the car is too low (if your car is lowered of course) to flap it up. So I drive on top of two pieces of wood, one at a time. Then the car is high enough to put the flap up, and raise the car w/o damaging the side skirts.

First of all thank you GReddySetGO for the info. I will definetly let my shop know for the next oil change. It's been a week already that i got my greddy side skirts so, far i only manage to scrape only one time with two people on the car.

A jack won't even fit under my sides, not even the stock scissor jack! I need to drive on wood.
