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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
