How do you install Evo-R sideskirts?

Looks good, I love the look. Welcome to the club! I like how it is more subtle on the Cherry black compared to yellow.

Did you have to put it up on stands? I've got a short little drill that I think I can get under it, but wasn't sure if it would be a PITA to do without lifting. Even considered a couple short pieces of 2 x 12 for some 'ramps' to give me a little clearance. I've had the side skirts for like 3 months now - just haven't gotten around to putting them on.

Use self tapping screws and you don't have to lift it. I used them to install mine with a 1/4" drive ratchet. Easy and quick install with great results.

Stands would've made it easier on my bad shoulder, but not necessary.

Bringing this thread back from the dead…

I also bought the EVOR CF side blades. The holes are pre-drilled but come with no hardware. And honestly… I didn't even see where these would attach using factory hardware.

Hadn't seen a more recent thread on how to DIY with these CF side blades. I Took your advice 370ZilverZ and bought 3/4-1" self-tapping screws w/ washer (washer also had a very thin layer of foam). I didn't use a jack/ramps/lift. My car is lowered on swift springs. Its doable… I wish I had at least some cheap ramps it would have made the install a breeze.

Step 1: Removed front mud flaps and cleaned the underside
Step 2: Cleaned the blades
Step 3: Laid the 3M VHB tape on the blades
Step 4: Attach side blades w/ 3M VHB tape to car (recommend doing a few test fits because once this tape is on… its freaking on)
Step 5: Using a nail, about half the thickness of your self-tapping screws, to create a hole on the body underside. This makes starting the screws WAY easier. I used the 5 pre-drilled holes on each side blade
Step 6: Using a 1/4" ratchet (or w/e you want) I drove the screws into the body, attaching side blades to the car with 3M VHB tape in between. Careful not to over tighten the screws as that could crack the CF.
Step 7:
