i plan on using this sometime next week, the kit will be used so ill need new tape

any certain type of 3m double sided? i remember seeing like "outdoor" and other types

**GETxERxDONE** · 05-14-2009, 06:26 PM

get the stuff with the red backing in the black packaging. will work perfectly.

Borla118 · 05-15-2009, 06:00 PM

so turns out the used kit i got did not come with the brackets

the only thing i could find on the issue was this thread

no bracket side skirt

anyone have any good info on the issue, not in that thread

and if anyone knows the part number that would be great, if i HAVE to get them, my buddy gets a disco so ill need the part number (couldnt find it online)

I alraedy PM'ed the guy who said he installed them without and said they were fine.

**GETxERxDONE** · 05-16-2009, 01:05 AM

they might be fine without them, but i feel more comfortable with them. and if they arent there and you push the side skirt it will move, and it prob flaps in the wind on the bottom

from what i remember, the brackets are like $80 so hopefully he has a good discount.

Borla118 · 05-16-2009, 01:37 PM

if anyone cares here is a link to the brackets

hfp sides

called a honda dealer, guy said you need two of them....cheapest i found it online was $7x.xx from majestic

this should be the "ultimate HFP sides information thread" haha

i think this is the part number

cool thread

stickler2007 · 07-18-2009, 04:58 PM

Cool, It looks awesome. Great DIY. I was thinking of getting something like this done but was hesitant. Thanks for the good info.

ynotproductionz · 07-20-2009, 12:19 PM

both seem rather confusing haha

**GETxERxDONE** · 07-20-2009, 09:48 PM

once you have the pieces in hand you will know.

hey man i have mine currently installed w/o brackets. they've been on for about a year now and no issues what so ever. i just put extra 3m tape throughout the center. the sideskirts are still screwed in via the bracket in the back, and the wheel well up front.

edit: lol wow i realized that link u posted was mine. anyways, everythign is good

yeh i actually have been bugging my buddy to order them (he gets a disco) and sides have been sitting in my garage for awhile, i put the front and rear on a month ago or so...i was actually gonna get him to order them this week finally, but now you are getting me thinking again, haha

do those center pieces actually touch the car? its too dark to go check

DJKlitz · 07-21-2009, 12:50 AM

im really not sure. i put like a double stack on teh ones that i didnt think would touch but i mean, the only time i really notice is when i get out of the car, the very center is a little wobbly if you rub it with your leg ( which i'm OCD about anything touching my paint so i rarely touch it).

I've had my friend follow me at high speeds and it doesnt move at all.

And like i said its been on for a year w/o any problem ever, still looks like a professional install.

Borla118 · 07-21-2009, 12:58 AM

alright you've convinced me

oh god, i think ill try it....hope i dont regret it

DJKlitz · 07-21-2009, 01:05 AM

i dont regret it at all, i'm glad i saved that money

plus if you dont like it for whatever reason, it's not like you cant reverse it
