Advice on Kaminari Side Skirt install.
Advice on Kaminari Side Skirt install.
Hey everyone,
I finally got my Kaminari side skirts from andy's autosport (been 2 months) and I'm about to get them painted along w/ the rest of my kit.
What I need is advice on how to install them. I've kind of prefitted them to see where I will install the screws that came w/ it. My guess is that there are more that install on the bottom underneath that on the front and rear.
Also, I'm guessing I will need to drill holes in the wheel well area on the front and rear. What all drilling will be happening? Just wondering on the best spots. I'm not afraid to drill as I've done some handy work on my car already:
TYC chrome projectors
APC racing seats
Apexi N-1 full catback
APC tails
grillcraft upper and lower grill (required drilling)
Here's just a few shots.
If anyone has any advice or any thread (that I could not find) on the installation of these side skirts I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

First, I did my install alone and it was tough. Have someone help you real quick and mock up the fit. Youll want to start at the front so that the door jam lip lays properly and flush on that, then go from there. if you dont start there, it will buckle and the doors will scrape the top of the paint. Some people have used rivets to hold it in place there, but i used 3m tape and it worked fine. The bottom mounted using 3 or 4 self tapping screws. I also used the self tappers to install the rear end of the skirt and the front. Hope that helps.
So you put 3M along the underside of the lip area that curls up to the bottom of the door? That whole length? Does it make it stick out any further?
Sounds pretty easy, but lookin for pointers so thanks for the reply.
Nice *** car btw... I have a Buddy Club 2 front and rear that I think will look great w/ these ss.

yeah i used a long strip of it there. it makes it raise up a bit, but like i said, if you do that area first, sight the ends of the skirt, and dont pinch the skirt, it wont rise up there and cause a problem. i had this problem on my passenger side and actually scraped off some paint... do it right the first time bro.
