Default Question for all RMM side skirt owners... little help

Guys I am looking for a little assistance with my RMM side skirts for my 98 GS400... I tried searching all over the place and could only find information pertaining to L tuned side skirts...

Anyways I was wondering if you could lead me in the right direction for how to install them...

Do these skirts require removing the oem ones?? (if so I found a post that explains that part)

Should I heat up the urethane before installing them to make them more pliable??

Anything else I should know??

Thanks a ton and Happy New Yr

I don't know about the RMM side skirts but i installed a WALD kit and it did require taking the oem side skirts off and they were a perfect fit. Just needed to drill new mounting holes. Good luck on your install.

the RMM sides go right over the OEM sides. Double sided tape and screws mount it down.

The second pic is the sides installed.

WOW thanks for all the responses... club lexus kicks ***!! I needed to replace my alternator yesterday and one of the write ups made it a piece of cake.

As for the side skirts I was thinking they went over the oem ones considering RMM's site says great for leased cars/easy install/uninstall.. Just wanted to double check before messing anything up.

Thanks for everyones responses!
