Here is a photo for you to show you where all the nuts/bolts are.
good luck with it, let's see some pics when you're done

also, there should be some clips or bolts behind where the sideskirt goes over the bottom of the fender.....

That was a major concern of mine.

My kit fits perfectly right now and I am concerned that taking the KIT's sills and then the factory ones may screw up my kit.....

But thanks man.....hopefully with your pic and other member's todo lists this should be done soon!!!

I may even call out sick from work tomorrow!!!!

Bumpity BUMP BUMP......I need to know like specifics of the bottom of the fender...i would like to leave my sides intact....but eh


I will do a write up of the Vertical Doors INC. install so that from now on people can just use what I've learned.

I understand that on the fender side of the hinge I need 2(two) 0.25" spacers

I also need to cut out a small area of the fender(rolling creates un-needed stress)

THe wires should not need to be extended

The doors should be taped shut to the car....etc

I just need to know how to get these damn fenders off!!!!!!!!

Well, you can go with that method if you want. However, I recommend using a few bungee cords stretched across the hood to the other fender. Hopefully the tension will hold them on...if not, use some duct tape.

As a wise man once said, "Duct tape is like Star Wars; it has a light side, a dark side, and bonds the universe together."

LOL...that smily reminds me of in the first Scary Movie when the scream guy got high. What an inappropriate smily for this site! LOL
