Side skid plates

[rowhard]

Ron never sold the side skids, they were still in prototype stage...

Thanks Knigh7s. Included in the molds I bought from Kuwait is the mold for the side skid plates. I asked a myamy22 about it and he said they were just screwed into the body cladding, was hoping there was a better way of doing it.

Ouch, I'd be afraid to use screws into the side cladding. Try the automotive double sided 3M tape. Clean both surfaces really really good and use a wax pencil to get ur initial fitting then peal and press... the bottom side of the skirt, maybe fab some hooks that hook around the backside of the cladding.

CHECK THIS OUT FOR EXAMPLES: but it looks as though he screwed in the side skirt...

Yes is better with 3M tape. you can purchase that at any pep boys or autozone for about 10 bucks a roll of 10 feets or so

make sure it is the stuff for attaching moulding and not just the foam double sided tape.

Oh yea, whatever I go, it will be the proper way. I know that most trim pieces are done this way now, and if done correctly with good quality products will last a long time and can be easily repaired if anything happens. Am also leaning towards that for the front skid plate at the top for those that don't have to run a front license plate. I know I would hate to see two bolts/screws in the middle of mine. These are all things that I need to work out before I will sell the first one. After all, will be selling to my extended family
