There is no other way to say it.

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, DONT BLAME ME OR NOTHING.

I would not do this on trd side skirts. OEM are plenty out there on junkyards,


1. Take the vert skirts off
2. You can either leave or take of the plastic insers on the sides of your vert.

3. You have to remove with an exacto knife all the inside tabs, yes, otherwise wont fit.

4. The front upper and front lower screw hole are the only ones that fit.

5. on the rear you will either have to use a tapering screw or drill a hole and use rivet. I prefer last one.

6. That leaves the middle. Alot of places i have seen they use double sided tape. I will use this and will probably have two rivets supporting underneath.

7. Underneath the car youll notice a gap between the skirt and car. This is the best youll ever get since the oem skirts were not made to fit a vert. The vert has a very steep angle compared to the coupe and hatch... There is no other way.

So if you want to do this to a trd skirt, think twice. They cannot be sold ever due to the mod you have to do.
