Install side skirt extentsions *HELP*

I have looked through the entire forum and searched but I could not find a detail DIY on it.

Does anyone know how to properly install the CF side skirt extensions on the E9X?


Thank you!

Thank you, I just saw this, the question is he put the self tappers from top to bottom, won't the side skirt extension just fall right out if you step on it with if you don't put a bolt on it?

Rewatch the video with sound on and pay attention to what is being said. He literally said the extensions will be held on with nuts and bolts and NOT self tappers, then said 10mm bolts as he was finishing the install.

Side Skirt Install

There are plenty of YouTube videos on how to install them without removing the rocker panels. Drill 15 holes, then 10 self tappers, and 5 thicker self tappers spread out held mine just fine. I tested em doin 160mph and they didn't budge. Good luck!
