Xenon Side Skirt Install

I did this complete install in my garage, including paint. I am an experienced bodyman. The install is fairly easy, you just need to take your time.

Ready for paint
I did a 400 wet thoroughly, then hit every nook and edge with a scotchbrite pad.
Basecoat
It took 4 coats to cover. I use PPG products.
Clearcoat
I used 3 coats of clear on this particular application.
Install
Turn the front wheel outwards and drill 2 holes. You need to put double sided tape on the back of the skirts to adhere them to the rocker panels and the face of the fender and quarter panel.

Take rear wheel off and drill for 2 screws in the back. I jacked the entire side of the car up so it would be level. This provided a better "eye" for me when I was leveling out the skirts in relation to the rocker panels and doors.
Done!
I am very happy with the results here. Makes the car look even lower to the ground. A pain to slide a jack under now without playing with it, but it was worth it for the results.
OK! What's next. Oh yeah, lets concentrate on going FAST
