well i picked up a new engine hood since i never did replace mine when the ladie backed up onto my hood, so ive been busy sanding all the lil chips out of it talk about a major PITA specially when it has 5 layers of paint! ended up finding one spot that had bondo on it but its in nice shape. and i've also started to redo my kombat bumper, fiberglass bumpers chip and scrap all to hell but atleast they are relatively easy to repair, just kinda time consuming, specailly with as curvy as it is, lotta hand work needs to be done, rather time consuming, but worth it, i'll snap pics of my progress tom.
and damn does my car look like a 4x4 with the stock bumper on! its even dropped 2"
i'm done rambling now.

i've personally done side skirts, but don't they just stick on with double sided tape... and the front bumper to put the holes in it i lined every thing up, center punched and drilled it, nothing to it... i think the worst part for me is going to be when i fiberglass some of the holes and stuff on my car, sanding that out, fiberglass is a bitch to sand!

hey jeef if i do the sideskirts with double sided tape wont it come off on hot days isnt it just better to drill holes on it and wat can i use to mold it on the car (just the skirts though) bondo or fiberglass ? and wat do you mean by center punched?

i've never done side skirts so i don't know what to tell other than to check out the forum about kits and looks, and use the search function, it works great... and center punch means to take a punch and whack a hole where you want the drill bit to go through... ya know a starter hole...
