    Double sided tape and fiberglass

    im going to be putting on my BC3 kit in a few days and didnt want to tap my body just to put on the sideskirts. i asked the dood at my shop and he said that you cant use double sided tape on fiberglass.. if i screwed in wheel wells and then double taped the sides on do you think it would work is is the guy on my shop right and i will have to drill into my body:'( :( :o

    its better to drill the holes... the holes are gonna be hidden by the plastic wheel well covers so if you take the sideskirts off its not gonna show... I don't trust tape all that well and would rather use screws...imo

    Ya, when i put my sideskirts on I will definitely screw it twice for the front and rear wheel wells, plus use tape along the bottom underneath the doors and maybe a little where the ctr skirt flares up.

    yeah i know that i am gonna screw in under the wheel well plastic covers but this dood is also saying i am gonna have to screw into the body... lik under the door or something... fuck him, i am just gonna tell him to screw in the wheel well and then tape the rest, i think its weird that he said i can tape if it were urethane but cant tape cause its fiberglass... i dont think he knows what hes talking about
