Installing carbon parts?

f90.kar · 05-11-2020, 06:10 AM

Is there any members on here that can give me some advice on how they installed the RW side skirts and front lip? Did you guys use any mounting tape or just drilled it on? Thanks!

The RW side skirts should be drilled with no double sided tape. Use 8-10 self tapping screws per side as they do not come pre-drilled. It will take 2 (but better with 3) people to effectively install.

I always use both tape and screws/bolts. 3M VHB tape is the best along with self tappers and or bolts if possible
