No drill side skirt extensions

Has anyone seen or used or know of any side skirt extensions that mount with double sided tape and maybe just screws on the ends of the wheel arches.

I love the look of simple extensions but not a fan of drilling into the underbody of the car/skirt

None

I wouldn't trust any held with tape. The STI skirts however can be mounted without drilling into sheet metal.

No drill side skirt extensions

On my previous car had a kit that Held up for 2 years until I removed them. Similar shape to sti skirts though.

Maybe just end up with sti style skirts.

Here's a car I painted with the same kit. Rear lip and side skirts have double sided tape only and screws on ends.

Would you happen to have any photos from some distance? I'm curious to see how they look on a firestorm car.

I believe the entire 5axis kit is just 3M. No drilling.

I was concerned for my rear wing since my coworker started having water damage to the tape, so I used silicone sealant to make sure no water gets to the tape. That should make sure it sticks u until you take it off.

Thanks, just makes me cringe to drill into a new car. May just end up going with the sti skirts and painting the upper portion of them, leaving the lower lip black.

Wish I had more time / place to continue paint work . All done in a garage took it to a car meet and no one believed it was a DIY.

Cool story bro! I know <_<

This is right after it dried. Before any cut and buff.

Glad I'm not the only person with this concern. Hopefully eventually the aftermarket releases a no drill solution!

I believe the TRD sideskirts do not require drilling and are mounted using screws that are on the lower ends of the wheel wells i.e. where mudflaps would go

I am right there with you. Drilling holes into sheet metal on the bottom of the car? If you live anywhere that has a real winter that just seems like taunting the gods of rust to smite you.

After what I went through with the rust under my old GC8's side skirts I just can't do that to my BRZ and feel ok about it. And those side skirts were factory.
