Actually the biggest issues is the sides the part where they match up to the door sill on the bottom is like 2 inches away and there is no way to secure them there. There are two spots to secure them by the front and rear tire, however, that's it. Any suggestions. Gonna take it to a body shop and finish it there since Im sure they a dremel.

Peng, what did you use to grind it with?

This is a very common issue with Fiberglass skirts. Your speaking of the doorjam correct?

FG is known to warp, can being shipping, sitting around in a warehouse, or even in your garage. When I got my skirts(Front is ONEighty's Poly lip, skirts are ART's glass), they didn't line up correctly anymore either, and had been off Diego's car for not even a week and we have the EXACT same car. The door jams were completely curling away from the car.

There's 2 ways of going about this. 1 is to heat it up a bit and hope it will slightly bend to the point where you can screw/rivit then into the doorframe. The other way is to completely cut off the section that doesn't line up ...straiiiiight across, and then lay kittyhair and reglass it. Very time consuming, but sometimes you don't have a choice.

What would you use to heat them up. I am pretty sure they would bend into place.

I REALLY miss the audio quality of the M and the scrolling of the CDs were the greatest things in that beast. I hate having to scroll one song at a time....being able to see 6 songs at once was huge. But all I do now is BT streaming from my phone so I don't care lol. I love the fact that it will play my messages over the speakers :P

it might, but takes a lot longer and you want to be able to heat the entire edge, not just one small section at a time.

I used my dremel...needed it a lot too because the nismo front wasn't cut out for anything i.e. grill, side markers, mounting holes, etc... My CS rear wasn't as bad though. They were marked for drill holes but just not drilled and the tabs for the most part were pretty close aside from the right side not sitting exactly flush at the top near the body.
