How to install ww kit?

I couldnt find results with the search so..... I want to install my front and sides ww kit. A shop tried to rip me off by charging me 230 to install it. So I was wondering if it's easy to install? I know I have to take the stock side skirts off but, how many screws is there for the stock ones? Also do I drill my own holes to install it? If someone has a diagram I would appreciate that alot. Thanks.

the stock side skirts are pretty tight.... you have to unscrew the bottom 4 screws and the front 2 screws first....then push forward and pull it out hard.....
here is mine...

1) turn your wheels to the side that you wanna work with....
2) jack up the car...
3) unscrew the 2 screws in the front side of fender
4) unscrew 4 screws which are at the bottom of the stock skirt
5) push forward so that you can disconnect the clips underneath...
6) pull it out gently...

Hope that it gives you some ideas...
also you may look at DIY section....

I'm not trying to be a pain but, where is the diy section on these forums? I don't see it. Also on acura world, the diy section is not working.

Hey everyone. I just installed the ww kit with a friend. Everything went well. It took 2 hours. I have one question. For the side skirts, in the middle, can I drill a hole on the bottom of the car right in the middle part? Right now it is not screwed on because I am scared that that part is where the gas tank is. Is it ok to drill a hole there?

I have the same questions. Now my sides are only holds by the screws i drilled at the front and back tire wall. I have them on for almost a year, they're not falling but it's really not secure. I'm afraid they'll fall if i hit some shit.

Anyone knows how to secure them please help!!

Mine is the same as yours now. If we can get the middle part screwed on it will be secured and it would not shake.

hm, if you're worried about screwing into something, why not try strong double sided tape for now? that should hold it on pretty good. btw, did you guys double side tape the little wings at the end of the side skirts and the front lip? if not, does it kind of flare out?

Actually I did on one side but not the other because the other side didn't need it. It didn't flare out. But I tried double side tape in the middle part but it won't hold because the bottom piece does not stick well with the tape.
