Techart sideskirt install question

For those of you with techart side skirts installed, I was wondering how they are mounted. Are the fastened with a screwed on bracket or just two-way tape?

Thanks,

Richie

Two way tape and a screw on each of the ends.
A little tip for you,warm the tape up...helps with bonding!
or apply it in the hot sun !

Just noticed you are from Winnepeg......forget about the hot sun this time of year and just warm it up,LOL!
I used the rack that came with our clothes dryer and put the roll of tape on it and in the dryer for a few minutes on high!

Actually after 2 years of tape they started lifting so I went back and had them glued. They look perfect now. It was probably was the 117 degree temperature and dust storm in Tempe Arizona (EVOMS) that started the lifting so I decided for a more permanent fix. Between the humidity in South Florida and the Arizona tour, I'm extremely happy with my solution.

thanks for all the input, methinks i'm going to install this myself. the gt3 sides skirts i have on my boxster have a bracket you drill in first which makes it difficult to line up, this seems much easier.

justatoy - i actually picked up an 06' S in your neighborhood, a dealer in port moody, should be here next week!
