No brakets just a drill and screws and silicone

screwed on from the ends through the fenderwells. but they may need support on the side to prevent sagging or for a clean look, so you may need brackets to hold them against the car.

those look like mazdaspeed replicas, the authentic ones had brackets on the side as well.

u.costa

Yes they r replicas...thank you.. will tell that to the guy in the shop..hopefully he will know wat to do from there.

u.costa

Thanks man!

post pictures of the fitment once they are on the car, I want to get a set for my car but I'm wary of the fitment.

nononono not silicone - 3m double sided tape along the length

lol, yea double sided tape is better. then again it depends how well it fits. if it fits well and just needs to be supported, used double sided tape. if you are having to force it to get it to fit, you'd have to rely on some other bonding adhesive.

double sided tape > silicon. Unless your body guy is also planning on blending in all the seems with bondo and painting the whole area.. then that's a different matter.

Razz1

No problem here with silicone.

Even on the race track.

Alright everyone..i got the side skirts installed and the rest...
the guy at the shop said that he found these clips and on the side skirts he had to add some holes to add more clips so it would fit well without shaking or anyhting..it fits perfectly..i already drove crazy, high speeds and stuff and did not feel anything odd. i think he added some tape too.

I appreciate everybody for ur help!

be careful with dips and potholes! over time i started developing cracks along the edge of my side skirts [where you apply the double sided tape] eventually i took them off. they were duraflex as well. got them on the fs section

do you still have the link to the ebay auction that you purchased from? or a similar auction from the same seller?

u.costa

Thanks man..If u had cracks that's cuz the front bumper was fiber glass, but u r still right about being careful with dips and holes.
Thiskit is either duraflex or extreme dimensions and material is urethane.

u.costa

I'll get it for u when I get home.
