Savage42 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 how will you support it while you glass it on? I'm actually using the flexible sealer/filler stuff to blend it in, but attaching the front & rear by bolting them on in a few places. I'm not sure how to do the side skirts the most clean way, but will let the paint shop do their magic since they do the nicest cars in the area. I'll let you know and take pics.

I've got the 3 port Kaminari front air dam and European bumpers; and I will probably go with the fiberglass side and rear skirts and classic fiberglass spoiler. Curious to see how you do your side skirts (I think they're the same one's I'm looking at getting). -Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I moutned my side skirts with AL rivets and fiberglass. Everybody likes the blended look instead of the bolt on. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Battle Pope Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 The shop that did my Honda used windshield urethane to hold the sideskirts on. Works amazingly well and is cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks280zt Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 dont run those side skirts! get you a nice front air dam and make you a custom rear roll pan and lower your Z, looks alot better in my opinion, thats atleast what I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Whatever method the shop uses - if they do a solid bond of the fiberglass aero panels to the body - it will need to have some degree of flexibility or it will crack along the bonding line. I've been thinking about that for some time. Many techniques work fine for a show car but won't hold up if driven daily or periodically put on a track. Guess it's time to start talking to different shops and see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 My car is a daily driver, I have no cracks on my side skirts. I'll try to get some pics this weekend in the sun. It's all in how you mount them You can't just mount them on the door area. They need to be supported. I made some AL brakets. You can kick mine and it doesn't hurt them.. Trust me I've done this on accident. It's also alot more work than some glue and clamps. -Ed Here are some general pics.. I'll try to get some close ups this weekend. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/777368/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
