Default TTE lip, RMM sideskirts, and RMM spoiler

I got my hands on a TTE lip, RMM side skirts, and the RMM spoiler (I'm really happy). Not painted yet.

I did a search and noticed the RMM side skirts are overlays (yes or no), looking at them i have a question on how they are installed. Do they attach by double sided tape or by screws (no screws were included). Anyone out there install them yourself and know. Any pictures will be well welcomed.

Also I searched and read that the RMM spoiler should be doubled up on double sided tape and the emblems need to be shaved or lowered.

The TTE (which I probably will be getting molded) looks pretty straight forward.


Please, any help with the side skirts would really be appreciated.....


I now need to get my hand on the RMM rear bumper, and need to find a quality but affordable paint shop in NYC.


The stock spoiler is going to be another headache.....

LOL thanks for the help fella's ...... I was blessed man, I found the whole kit In NYC locally (new). He never installed it due to him looking to get ride of the car.


Anyone with RMM sides that can give me some info on the install (screws or double sided tape or overlay).

You can get the TTE lip off of sewell. Enter the code CLUBLEXUS and get the discount on it too. They'll also paint it for 150, but you can use the discount on that as well LOL

I have explosion sides which are identical to the RMM's. They fit over the factory rocker panels. You will need screws to mount them if they are anything like mine. I use screws in the door sills and then screws af the mounting pounts at the bottom of the wheel well,maybe some other RMM owners could chime in. Hope that helps!!

Thanks man... I looked at the skirts and see no pre drilled hole, I'm wondering is this is normal. Drilling the holes to install is not a problem but is that how RMM shipped them? They look really good, never painted. We will see.

Anyone else who installed or watched the RMM skirts installed can chime in...

Thanks Fella's

Hey I have the TTE lip and RMM side skirts and the side skirts use both double sided tape as well as screws. The screws are already on your car in the wheel wells. You use the screws that are already there. The install is pretty easy and straight forward. I had mine painted and then installed. Since it's nice out today, maybe I'll take a couple of pics with a real camera. I only have pics with my cell phone camera.

It might be difficult to find this one used. I got lucky and Jeff sold me the one I had been hounding him about.
