LX > GT conversion...

[The Fox]

Im about 75% done. I just need to do the wing and side skirts. My problem is I need to know the best way to mount the side skirts.

I already have some double sided tape. I also have 2 strips of metal with 1/2" holes spread sequentially. Do I have to somehow drill up through the bottom of the car and mount there first and then finish with the double sided tape on the top ends?

The wing. I already "BJ Welded" the LX mounting holes. This only leaves me with the 2 rear most mounting holes for my GT wing. I already wired the 3rd brake light (PITA). So do I have to make new mounting holes or can I just use the existing 2 holes and use double sided tape on the rest? Also, what kind of screws does it take?

Thanks

Anthony

to properly mount the side skirts there are three metal brackets (per side) that are supposed to be riveted into place. Thats two short ones on the fender and one longer one just below the door. Then the bottom takes numerous screws to hold in place (reference the side skirts for how many)

For wing I would use all of the proper mounting holes (pretty sure you have to drill some) and not use double sided tape

For the wing you have to have 3 holes per side, so you'll have to drill some. I had to do it years ago on my car. Why was 3rd brake light such a PITA? I just transfered all the LX wiring into my GT hatch and it wasn't so bad.

the side skirts take rivets.
