Side Skirts? How to?

I want to get some side skirts next and thinking I should just get the Mazdaspeed ones but wondering if I can install them myself? Anyone installed any side skirts and what is involved with it?

Going to do the mirrors too.... any problems you see coming my way?

Thanks, T

As long as you know how to follow instructions and are comfortable drilling holes in your car, the install is a breeze. I did mine in about 3 hours and they went on perfectly, no surprises.

Side skirts took the longest for me, but that was because I was very careful and deliberate in cutting out and lining up the templates.

With patience, a good high speed drill, and quality bit, the install is simple.

Thanks I just got back from the dealer..... $875 for the Mazdaspeed painted. About the same price as on-line but dont have to pay shipping. Tomorrow I flip a coin to see if I get the skirts or the Greddy this month. -T

FYI, $720 at Rosenthal, you'll have to pay shipping ($20-$30??) but no sales tax

Now you can get both :D

I will get might as soon as I get to sell my bike I should at least get 4000-5000. That should be enough for the MS Kit. Then I dont know what to do with the rest of the money lol. I'll get the MS side mirrors in a few days. Does anyone have an actual picture of the mirror. I would think it would be small compare to the stock. Any suggestions on what to mod next?
