Hey everyone. Getting ready to work on my wife's silver 2006 G6 GT 4 door. Thanks to living in NY the sides below the doors are pretty rusty. I was looking at ordering a side skirt kit to (ahem) sort of cover the majority of this.
First off, I have a small bodyshop and bodywork is what I do. HOWEVER, this car has 160,000 miles on it and the rust is pretty significant. I was planning to grind down the majority of it, prime it and then install the skirts over top of that. I don't want to bother cutting, patching, welding, etc. This is just to pretty it up a bit and prolong its inevitable trip to the junk yard.
My question is (and I searched, I promise), has anyone installed these side skirts before? I was looking at the typical Duraflex kits I've seen all over. http://www.carid.com/duraflex/gt-com...D7gaAiiR8P8HAQ My concern is specifically how they attach to the car. If it requires drilling into the sides, where the rot is, they won't work without cutting and pathing metal. And if I do that, I won't bother with the kit. If it attaches to the existing plastic bodypiece that runs along the bottom, it may be worth a look.
Anyone done this install before and have photos or some way of explaining how they attach these skirts to the car?
Thanks in advance.
