Using these side skirts is a breeze. First, make sure your car is clean where you'll install the side skirts. Just take the side skirts out of the package and attach them using the included hardware. There's no need to sand or paint them before installation. When handling the side skirts, be careful not to scratch the carbon fiber surface. For maintenance, you can clean them with a mild car - washing soap and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the high - gloss finish. If you choose to add the optional mini emblems, simply peel off the backing of the 3M tape and stick them in the desired location on your side skirts or front lips.
