Got any pictures of how yours is falling off? My driver side has a few gaps, but it is holding decently at the rear, but my passenger side the last few weeks decided to sag a bit from the rear. I am going to try to prep it better. The tape isn't holding on the skirt end of it. Might try adhesive promoter.

I heard about using betalink, but I dont know if I want to permanent bond the skirts on

Your driver side one is a bit out from the back?

Mine is this way...it CAN'T be fixed...the OEM sides are about 5k QR here...so I will be happy with these and live with the little imperfection...

it's hard to get bothered by that with all the other things the car has

Same, from a distance it looks fine, but up close gaps! if my car was black or darker it probably wouldnt look as bad.

Thinking of going back to oem skirts, but these look so good and the shop i went to did a good job on the color match.

I think they look pretty good...I am holding on them..

My driver side clip to the back broke recently somehow...I guess its the rock incident that bent my front driver side wheel....I made a hole and used a zip tie....I really like the skirts

Damping set at 8 front/12 rear...might stiffen it a bit more for fun..also sprayed all threads with white lithium grease.

I redid my skirts today, some gaps, but it now it is due to the thickness of the double sided tape. My problem was the double sided tape was not bonding to the skirt. I tried adhesive promoter today and right now it is holding, will have to check in the long run

Yes the gap will probably always be there, but keep us updated...I would like to fix it if possible, else, it's alright!

I love the CW 2 door on these wheels! I've been looking for a while for good pictures of this combo for a while. I think my decision has been made!

Which Golf R repro side skirts did you guys use? I have some of the Edward's repros sitting here that I was going to get painted and put on my car....Did you get the same ones?

Yes these are the ones from Ed.

Look at the last pages in his FS thread for important installation tips.

Thanks for the install suggestions! My skirts came in today and there is on substantial scratch and knick on one skirts primer. I am wondering if I can just sand it off. Dis you have any scratches or anything on the skirts before you painted them? By the way, I have to admit you car looks beautiful and I plan to have my candy white GTI up to par with yours here soon!

[xHeartcoreboyx]

Yes it can be sanded off...had something like that too!

Thank you!

Not really related to your thread, but I was randomly browsing through a civic forum and came across this



Looks nice. I could skip the big wing but otherwise, I like ...............for a civic

[xHeartcoreboyx]

Haha nice find!!

I loved that thing...it was fun to mess with...and yes, I don't like the wing either anymore..even though it's still hip in honda world and comes on exclusive cars from factory in Japan!

[TheGTIChannel]

I can see how it'd be a nice car to tinker with. Lots of parts on the market from what I can see, not all very tasteful. I'm surprised as to how mature some of the people on that forum were. Where I live, honda drivers have a reputation for being arrogant ricers. Glad you weren't part of that crowd!
