So I found this DIY that has PDF instructions and am unsure if the skirts from Trinity install exactly the same as the OEM skirts or is there custom fabrication required? I'm hoping to tackle this myself rather then paying a shop to do it.

Anyone else done this or would you recommend a shop? Should I buy new clips or reuse the old? Will the replica skirts have marking to show me exactly where to position the new clips? I don't see any mention of using glue so I asume they just pop off and on?

When Trinity's shop did mine they had to do no modification or fabrication and the install went exactly the reverse if the removal. I think if you're careful (they are painted right?) and take your time the install will go smoothly. Good luck and remember: PICS or it never happened, don't be a Vlad.

 

Don't worry there will be pics, I plan on whoring it up this year I'm super stoked that we have the earliest spring on record this year, I can already see grass on my lawn

I'm praying that everything works out since I am getting them prepainted! Would you recommend new clips or are the old fine?

 

New/old clips are really up to you. For mine they reused the clips and it has worked out fine, they have been on for several months now and the fitment is still about as good as I could have expected.

 

yes install is exactly the same. the clips and screws from your stock side skirts just need to be transferred and used on our replica mtech side skirts.

 

I call shenanigans!













Jk, you shouldn't have any problems. Did it myself and it was like BUttER.

 

i should be able to do it too then.. my skirt should be done in about a week or less. im not in a rush as im also waiting on some other parts i just ordered from tischer..
