I just bought lip kit. I'm bout to put them on my car. But I have no idea what kind of tape I should use and how I do the side skirt?

 

3m

take off stock

 

Don't use 3M. USE Loctite which you could find at Walmart cause it clear and able to transfer the color so it looks better.

 

clean and dry your car off propery spray adhesive promoter on the area you are applying the kit to, apply 3M double sided tape to your kit then with the help of another person to properly fit the kit work from one side to the other putting on the kit, I would test fit first just to make sure you know exactly how you want the kit to sit bc once you spray that adhesive promoter and the 3m tape touches it, it will stick quick

 

What type of kit did you get OP? Did you get an entire kit or just the front and sides?

To remove the side skirts, you would have to remove the screws at the ends of each side skirt. Most of the aftermarket kits with the front bumper and side skirts have already holes where all you have to do is unscrew the stock front bumper or side skirt and replace it with the aftermarket piece. However, with aftermarket kits, fitment might be a little off.

I personally used 3M tape (the one that holds up to 5lbs) to attach my rear gfx kit because I didn't want to cut or drill into the rear bumper. The 3M tape has held on strong for the past 3 yrs thru multiple car washes and bad weather. However, the rear bumper is starting to come loose at the sides and therefore I will have to remove it and re-tape it.

I have heard nothing but great things about loctite tape from walmart and that is I what I will be using the second time around when I re-install my rear gfx kit.

Just make sure everything is clean and smooth before you start installing your body kit with tape.

 

I got jp lip kit. My main concern is the skirt that I got they have hole on both end but notthing in the middle and along the side ( no tap for clip, nothing at all). Can double side table hold everything in place or I have to screw skirt to the body?. I don't want to screw or drill any hole to the car body. I haven't take out pen skirt but I thing there should be clip or tap to hold the side right?

 

"OEM skirt" not "pen skirt"

 

Where do you find the adhesive? I had small tubes come with my spoilers before and it's really good helps a lot but I don't know where to find anymore OTC

 

How did you do it this way. I want to get it but I don't want to drill holes either.....did you have to chop off parts of the lip? Does the exhaust hole look flush?

 

if you use 3m and adhesive, how do you take it off later? any damage caused?

 

3m is really strong and I've never had a problem with it. You can probably heat it up with a blow dryer while you're taking it off if you want to make sure your paint doesn't come off

 

my 3m tape did leave some residue after a long time, but goo gone worked wonders to remove it

 

woah i cant believe everyone is using just tape!

I bolted mine up with 2 screws per section along with tape. Painted the bolts black and it looks smick az!

 

Home depot

I bolted mine too but the main reason why I used 3m tape is to get it to fit properly. I have a rep kit and everyone knows theres fitment issues with reps. With 3M tape and if you have some body work skills you can make any rep kit fit properly.


As for OP I have the full JP rep kit.As I said its bolted and taped up. Feel free to click on the link in my signature to view more pics from when I first got it, installed it etc.I've even taken it off modified it and put it back on. If you followed my steps above on putting the kit on then yours will fit just fine.

Heres how she sits now, I've had no issues with it coming off, sagging or anything

 

Lol ^ i like your sig
