WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[Simon99]

Installed the other STI style side skirt, STI style rear aprons and STI style front lip, all shipped from Bayson R in perfect condition. Definately follow @chanomatik advice and buy more 3M tape, it will help for the side skirt ! (AND MAKE SURE IT WONT RAIN 15 MINUTES AFTER OR YOU'LL HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN )

Yeah I used double the amount of 3M tape BaysonR supplied. Another helpful tip would be to make sure your 3M is at least flush with the weather strip so that skirt can sit tight against the body and secure nicely.

I personally didn't install the weatherstrip, though it looked tacky

Sent you a PM

Thanks

Probably because your installation of it is better than mine. On my breezy the strip looked wavy and out of place. Ill post a picture when I wash her

Yeah I'm pretty anal about stuff like that. If it takes three days to put a screw in straight, so be it!

I tried but It didn't really stick after the first application ..

Yeah it's not super sticky to begin with due to the size. Cleaned mine with alcohol, drank the rest of the alcohol and applied the weather strip. Just needed it to stay secure long enough to attach it to the body. The other 3M should suck it in nice and tight afterwards

Yeah should have waited for a hot day to install the second side ... it popped yesterday night and now I have a small gap

I had to double layer my 3M cement tape to actually get it to stick to the body... Also, the underbody mounting hardware was such POS... I end up not using them because you really don't need those to hold the skirt (1000+miles proven).

Wedge something that's heavy against the side of the skirt for pressure and leave it there overnight or on a hot day and allow it to secure nicely
Just make sure it's not on the skirt and not abrasive, just want to put pressure against the side

On one of the side the underbordy actually gave it a perfect and straight fit, on the side side it bumped the skirt when you look from underneath, gonna have to work to make it look good !

Agreed! This is what happens when you get replicas and not OEM I guess. $800 for OEM STI side skirts is just so stupid...

Yeah the price + import + shipping is simply too much unless you win the lotto !
