Install side skirt/front lip without jacks
Hey guys,
I just got my side skirts and front lip in from suvneer, want to install them but I have no jacks. I was thinking of using a right angle drill bit to get clearance to drill the side skirts and the front lip in. Anyone have success doing it this way? I did buy a ramp to do this but had to return it, I think the car is too low and would scrape. |

I have a suvneer lip, I installed it with bolts + oem hardware. Depends on the ramps you use but yeah car is too low probably for bigger ramps.
I used these https://www.eastwood.com/race-ramps-...ce=google&wv=4 these are small ramps used so you can jack the car if car is too low. They give you enought space to install the lip. Not sure about side skirts though, likely not so your idea might work. However I would just buy a jack to have and do it that way. For front lip though the ramps are nice, I would not want to do anything under-ish the car with a jack and those race ramps are fantastic, pricey but fantastic. |

I do have a question though- maybe you can answer this. If My lip breaks and I want to replace it with the same lip, how do I mount that lip with the holes I made from this lip? I feel like If replaced this lip the screws wouldnt hold in the same spots. |

So I used bolts with rivnuts but when I have some time I am going to switch them to similar rivnuts as Farkle has done as seen here Yes this is kind of a pain to do but I just don't trust a lip with tape and self tapping bolts |
