i see, well yeah the kits all urethane, what i'm most worried about are the skirts with the 3M tape, i've heard i'ma have to buy new weather resistance tape rather than use the one that it comes with

the clear 3m tape could be used for the area where the bolts are used... so stones cant damage that area when the tires run over stones/rocks... 'causing less chances of stone/paint chips in that area

I take everything off and go back to stock in the winter....Learned my lesson after last winter that in the winter your car slids and when you slide and hit something when its real cold and you got urethane...it cracks.....=(

My tsunami is now the father of hundreds of fake little Tsunamis sold it to a moulder

oh and it makes your paint dull as hell

Question.... For you guys with side skirts... Can you use the emergency jack in the trunk when you have your skirts on?? If not, how the hell do you jack up the car?
