Default Mopar side skirts??

I just got my side skirts any tips/suggestions?
They look tricky to put on, how are they compared to putting on the f & r?
Are you suppose to drill into the car itself?

My husband and I are going to attempt to put some r/t sideskirts which are the ones you have on whenever I get them painted at a bodyshop.

Yes you need to modify the mudflaps a little bit.

And airwolf, the R/T Sideskirts are the same as the Mopar Lip Kits Side Skirts.

They require a special primer. Or atleast this is the D/L on my parts:

When i got my parts in I decided to look into paint, but you need to know what your parts are made out of so you can get the right primer.

Whent and looked it up, and turns out that the parts are made out of a special material that doesn't bond to typical primer. It is a special, expensive, kind of primer. So what I ended up doing was getting some wet sand paper, and wet sanding down past the clear coat on my original parts and then re-painting them.

It worked well. Unfortunately my front end got a little chewed up (Highway Driving + semi's + VERY dusty and rock filled roads = terror for front end).

So, I will be RE-painting it soon
