Still cant decide on the side skirts...
The M-Tech side skirts are plug and play, right? Is there any drilling or whatever involved in installation?
I was told that all non-OEM side skirts will need to be installed by a professional bodyshop.
But I want something that I can do by myself to avoid any additional costs.
Any ideas??

no drilling or anything. the side skirts are just held by screws and clips. also we have our replica mtech side skirts as another option, and the install on those is just the same as OEM skirts.

I called a shop that sells lots of different side skirts for e60 but non of them are plug and play as they said...
M-tech skirts are way too similar to standard ones! Are they lower thand standard?
I have also found ACS type skirts, nothing new with them as well...
Standard
