My WW side-skirts are junk

I installed the Wing's West side-skirts on my car myself last week.
I couldn't believe how poor the fitment and shape of the unit was...
one side was way longer than the other! So, basically the bottom plastic
peice kinda stuck out past the front fender well.

Anyways, I'm also having issues with getting the sticky stuff to stick
evenly between the aluminum under the intake and the urethane peice.
The urethane must be slightly warped or something, because I can only
get half of the area to stick which leaves a 1/8" gap with soem of hte
sticky stuff showing. Its really retarded... if I would have known how
crappy it was, I may have not gone this route.

Since I will be getting Taitec diffuser shortly, the WW skirt flows well
with the rear component IMO... which is the reason why I did this.

Anyways, if any of you have any sugestions on how I can correct this problem,
maybe I can even follow this post up with some photos in a bit. I believe
there are a decent amount of people with this part, so I was hoping to get
some comments with their experiences.

Thanks.
 
Like I've said, you need to use a bracket that will sandwich the WW side skirt to the aluminum bracket on the quarter panel. Another solution, which I used, is to use stainless self drilling screws through the quarter into the side skirt. You can gain access to this area by removing the fender liner.

Considering the price and material used, I think the WW side skirts are a good value for what you get. You just need to spend a little time to get it right. Remember, almost all exterior mods are not "bolt in".
