You have to heat them up with a hair dryer. Once they're hot enough, stick them on over the stock skirts.

You may need to heat up the stock skirts, so they'll stick together more easily.

lol no way man... i ended up sanding them down to fit and then using bondo to mold them onto the body.

the heat up thing doesn't work. it cant work. ive worked with fiberglass before re heating it up would only make it soft wouldnt make it sticky.

You have to look at the material properties of the sideskirts. Given enough heat and possibly pressure, they will meld together and become one. So of course a hairdryer won't work well. You need a high temperature heat gun in order to get this to work.

Yeah, forgot to mention that part. You'll need a 12-1500 degree heat gun.
