Installing side skirts??

I was just wondering what everyone did here who installed their own side skirts. Did they jack the car up and take off the wheels, or kind of half *** their way around it. I'll be installing my Xenon sides and rear soon, so I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to do this. Any detailed info would be great. Thanks

yes I did a while ago, but I got a new computer and lost all the information on the old one. sorry if its a repost. Did you jack up the entire car, or one side at a time or what?

Holy crap, 6 posts! How'd you do that? lol.

What kind of kit do you have? I had the OEM front and rear with Aero sides... and I never needed to jack the car up or take off the wheels. I turned the wheel so that the wheels would face one direction making it easier to work on the side skirts or front lip.

thats all i did too, i just used a stubby screw driver to get out that one screw in the wheel well. and unless youre afraid to lay on the ground, you dont need to jack the car up.
