Welcome back to the channel! A few weeks ago, I made a video (linked below) where I installed EOS ZL1 Style Side Skirts. Don’t get me wrong, I love the look of them, but my driver side side skirt has given me nothing but issues. I have reinstalled it 2 more additional times since the initial install. I detail how I installed it differently each time with different techniques and products. Beginning to think it is just badly warped.

Nice SS. I'm waiting on my carbon fiber side skirts for my 2012 Camaro SS. Hopefully you will get the driver's side to fit properly. Thanks for the video.

@cptnkev2801 9 месяцев назад

You need to use a urethane adhesive. I installed OEM satin black ones and the GM installation instructions specified urethane adhesive, haven’t had any issues.

@adcamaroz28lover Год назад

As @ericpalmer 3664 said, the ACS composite are the way to go. I put mine on two years ago and they fit perfectly. They match the contours of the car perfectly. I bought the gloss black and the paint is also perfect, they are a little more expensive but I wouldn’t use any other brand.

@JCSCUSTOMS Год назад

Nice, yeah I’ll eventually probably make the purchase, trying one more way with these to see how they hold

@Sierra117_callsign 3 месяца назад

Yep, ACS composites EVERYTHING. Splitters and Zl1 side skirts. Been on my car 5 years with 0 issues. Paints holds up better than the damn paint on the car

@jessegrassmyer3315 7 месяцев назад

Had the same problem with my side skirts. What fixed my issue was 3M adhesion promoter I got off Amazon. What it seems to do causes a chemical reaction with the glue on the tape to make it bond with whatever surface you're attaching it too. Just be careful with reattaching you only have one shot to get it right, because it's very hard to remove the part.

@JCSCUSTOMS 7 месяцев назад

I ended up using the same promoter and got it to stick!

@chriscutaia8310 24 дня назад

You need to use 3M 4298UV Adhesion Promoter - Tape Primer, and 3M VHB Tape 5925 Permanent Bonding Tape. I talked direct to 3M and they said the 03614 would not work because it has two adhesives and the cover side of the tape is made for the paint side.

@JCSCUSTOMS 24 дня назад

@@chriscutaia8310 shortly after this video, I did use what you mentioned. Passenger side popped off within 2 weeks.

@Bankingverdicts Год назад

Yeah I asked you in the original video how to make them hold. You definitely aren’t the only one dealing with this. I quit using tape. Drilled through the bottom and placed a couple washers (underneath obviously) between until it pushed the top part flush with the car.

@JCSCUSTOMS Год назад

Pretty good idea, might have to try that one

@stevehoughton9605 10 месяцев назад

Yep, you have to make up for the warped sections. Cannot force a plastic deformation and have a preload or springback get back to you. I plan on installing a set and will certainly wait a few hours for the tape to cure and then screw it with schims where needed.

@ericpalmer3664 Год назад

I talked to ACS composite and they get tons of calls that people had bad experience with the skirts from EOS. I ordered the ACS composite skirts and I can tell you it's the solution. It uses rivets and no 3M tape at all. Those skirts don't go anywhere. The quality you get from ACS is amazing. It's almost OEM and they actually have experience working with GM.

@JCSCUSTOMS Год назад

Good to know. Just hard to fork over more money for more skirts😂 I used rivets on these as well on the second install, still didn’t hold. I’ll eventually get ACS as it seems my best option

Need adhesion promoter on the molding before the tape. 3m. You won’t be able to take the tape off the molding. So take molding off. Take all glue off. Clean car and mold. Promote wipe molding. Put tape on molding. Press hard. And put on car when it’s warm. Not cold. Body guy here hope helps

@JCSCUSTOMS Год назад

Thanks for the help! I installed a 4th time the other night with adhesion promoter and within 48 hours it was back to this. Granted, the promoter I used was old so I ordered some new will be here in a few days

@xojeany13 Год назад

Message the company and ask them to resend you the driver's side and then return the warped one to them (THEY pay shipping). Couldn't hurt, and it would be easier than having to remove both and re-install.

@JCSCUSTOMS Год назад

I’ll reach out to them! Thanks for the comment!

Dude, I've gone through 3 sets of skirts because of these issues and now I need to find another set once again. Plus same deal for the front splitter which shattered from the wind while test driving.

@twiceonsundays Год назад

I got those same skirts, similar problem on both sides when I had my 6th gen SS. They looked great and no one could really tell, but it did bother me every time I walked up to the car.

@JCSCUSTOMS Год назад

Seems to be a common issue. I eventually got these to stay against the side and look good

@MathewTurner-zz9gc 8 месяцев назад

I didn't have a problem installing mine from American muscle pretty sure those are from eos cause I bought from American muscle but my Front lip spoiler was branded extreme online store on the part . I used mushroom rivets instead of the screws 3m tape and 3m adhesion promoter applied adhesion the the side skirts and front lip and applied it to the car itself. My side skirts are flawlessly installed

@cristianmarchante3592 4 месяца назад

Had the exact problem with mp concepts off American muscle no 3m tape holds it strong enough

@JCSCUSTOMS 4 месяца назад

Agreed..

@MotorHead963 Год назад

I just installed driver side skirt and looks like more bolts are needed to be used and also from the side that will hold it better in place And I don’t know why instruction shows that only one strip of take its needed in the corner and doesn’t say anything about outing strip on the edge 🤔 that might create a gap from a get go

@JCSCUSTOMS Год назад

Yes I agree. I ended up using more screws up underneath on the side and more tape!

@goriaakash Год назад

Im thinking about getting the same skirts you have but carbon fiber, what would you recommend, my car is basically stock all around. The hood vent is like matte black and the grille is gloss, and the rear diffuser is some sort of unpainted black plastic. Would that be too much variation or would the carbon fiber look good?

@eldani-beatz6472 5 месяцев назад

Did you solved this problem bro? I’m having the same issue in the passenger side, I think if loose a little the screws I can stick that tape better and then tight the screws again

For that side yes but now the other side popped off at the front

i know its alil order video, but what was your solution to this? Im having thw same isssue on deivers side from EOS. I really dont wanna rivet into side skirt of my car

@JCSCUSTOMS 9 месяцев назад

Ended up ordering and using 3M VHB weather resistant tape, along with 3m adhesive promoter wipes. Then only placed screws up underneath on the sides. Seems to be holding well

@Briggze2628 Год назад

Wb c7carbon? Was thinking about ordering from them. So far i just went with ikon motorsports and got a cheaper $160 since its my very first one buying. Got a cheap $150 3 piece splitter but that ended up flying off so yah any thoughts on good 5th gen websites would be clutch. Good video🤙🏻

Haven’t tried c7carbon. I got ikon skirts for my last car and they lasted the entire time I had it, fitment wasn’t the best though. Try phases performance, thanks!

I'm sorry you're having such a bad experience with the sideskirts. I also bought EOS sideskirts and I have small gaps on mine but nowhere near as bad as what you're experiencing. I did not use any tape though, I only used rivets and screws. I drilled holes one size smaller than the screws and rivets and they went on very snugly. I can send pics of my gaps as well if you want to see what I mean. Hopefully you get this figured out man.

Did you use that quick detail spray to clean the surface and then use the alcohol? I dont believe the alcohol would strip that wax off. Maybe use a cleaner to strip the wax off and use some adhesive prep? Might work? A easier way to take that 3m tape off is to use a eraser wheel attached to a cordless drill. Dont go to fast when using it. Your fingers will be grateful. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe try that before dropping more 💰💰💰 on different side skirts.... whatever you do, best of luck 🤞🏼 But in personal experience, EOS is garbage. Their qc is absolute TRASH! I have the ACS rock guards.....TOP QUALITY!

@JCSCUSTOMS Год назад
