after 2 weeks of dealing with hyundai on this stupid ass side skirt bracket i finnaly got one for the driver side because apparently hyundai misbagged 4 sets of them. But i got mine in and i definatly didnt drill any holes in my car, i just dremmeled off those extra tabs on the sides and just used epoxy to get the tops on. better glue it then drill.
here is what i was looking like a few weeks ago, spoilerless
and now with my type=r spoiler and Turby sides

need to do something about that exhaust though man. it doesnt sit right at all. doesnt flow with the car. come out to rockford, my shop can make that sit like no other tib. (cept maybe mine) lol

rims and 5lug swap are my next goals but for right now i'm done spending money. the rest of the season i'll look for my 5lug stuff and save for rims.
5-6 spoke gold/bronze in 16" with some kind of spacers for the back. i wanted xg350 rims but i cant seem to find them cheaply
edit: just won these babys for 215shipped!
gotta keep the OEM flavor coming, i want gold rims but i might have to just powder coat these instead

They look good, but I can't believe you epoxied those on instead of installing them properly.
Why would you do that?
You will have problems from not installing them right, I can almost guarantee it. Are you afraid of drilling? A DIY was done to have it done perfectly BTW.
I gotta agree with the exhaust, it looks horrible. Tails look good though.
You guys really go tme wanting to get my skirts on, but I HAVE to get them painted first.

^^werd, so do mine.
but for now its fun to for me to be able to look at them everytime i am on RDT and my turby skirts and evo hood are sitting next to each other resting against the wall, haha.
Prime, i think it's cool you are sticking with nothing but oem parts, it's not the norm if you know what i mean.

I'm trying to find some place locally to get a decent/cheap paint job done on them.
