    Carbon Side Skirts

    I haven't found much information about installing the side skirts. Anyone have any recommendations?

    What is the proper orientation for these?

    They should be symmetrical. They do not look like the rocker extenders I got from FFR.

    Neither looks like what I got. I did get the attic-sale ones though, that had some imperfections. Could be an older cut. Didn't come with instructions. I just added rivet-nuts to the frame and bolted them in. I put some 3M VHB tape on them too, to help keep them from rattling. The rolled-down edge faces to the outside of the car, with the edge pointing downward facing the ground. Mine looks closest to the left piece in your pic, but the one end had a much steeper taper than the other.

    Did some arts and crafts with my skirts to get them equal and then used bed liner on the back side that will be facing the road. I thought it worthwhile as any chips or damage to the bottom would eventually show through.

    Thanks for the tips gents.

    Looks to me like the side skirt on the left is for the GTM......we've installed a bunch of those here and the fact that it's longer than the one on the right would indicate to me that they sent you one GTM side skirt and one 818 side skirt.
