Question Question about VERTEX kit?

Hey there everyone I have a problem installing my vertex kit on my car. The front and rear are a perfect fit. The side skirts is where I'm having a problem with. I can't figure out which side goes to which. The measurements on both side are exactly the same. Also does anyone have like a diagram or a close up picture of a vertex skirt near the tires. Can anyone please help! Thanks!

if you put them on and they look perfect.
then you took them off and reversed them and they looked perfect.....

which way would be correct?

Thats what I'm saying, I can't even figure it out. I hope someone in the forum can really help me out. I planning to paint the kit over the weekend, but first need to find which side belongs to which. Thanks man!

I don't know how much the kit cost, but I believe it somewhere around $2200. Do a research on the forum.

one end should sit a lil lower to the ground then the other . the lower end is the rear. there was a pic of a sc with a vertex kit installed and the guy didnt notice that he installed the sides backward.till everyone pointed it out to him. u have to step back and look at the car, then you will notice it. good luck. 50/50 chance that you will get it right.

Wait guys, so you mean the side skirts should look like their slanting upward. From the rear to the front, right!

yes. you will notice it when u put it on..plus compare the gaps between door and front wheel and door to rear wheel.the rear should be a longer gap.
