There is no other way to say it.

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, DONT BLAME ME OR NOTHING.

I would not do this on trd side skirts. OEM are plenty out there on junkyards,


1. Take the vert skirts off
2. You can either leave or take of the plastic insers on the sides of your vert.

3. You have to remove with an exacto knife all the inside tabs, yes, otherwise wont fit.

4. The front upper and front lower screw hole are the only ones that fit.

5. on the rear you will either have to use a tapering screw or drill a hole and use rivet. I prefer last one.

6. That leaves the middle. Alot of places i have seen they use double sided tape. I will use this and will probably have two rivets supporting underneath.

7. Underneath the car youll notice a gap between the skirt and car. This is the best youll ever get since the oem skirts were not made to fit a vert. The vert has a very steep angle compared to the coupe and hatch... There is no other way.

So if you want to do this to a trd skirt, think twice. They cannot be sold ever due to the mod you have to do.

Looks simple enough, I would of figured with all the talk of "nothing fits on a vert", that this would of been more complicated. Simple and to the point. If I had a very I would do this. Look good! But is you tractor really protected from sun damage, dust, birds, and tree sap?

Funny, don't have a tractor. Bought it new at 15 usd, sale price. Original price 65. But I never bought the tractor. I now pay to have the grass cut.


Back on topic: its not difficult to install. It just takes patience to cut, and not make a hole.

I am having trouble seeing the images. When you say rivets, do you mean the white pieces or the entire rivet and the extrusion? Overall, I'm just having trouble so much help is appreciated.

Thanks for the images! All I'm having trouble with Is pushing the skirts in so that they're flush. How do you get it so that they were flush with the doors and the body? Mine keep wanting to push away. Thanks!

Sorry to bring this old thread back to life but just wondering where to place the double sided tape
This is for my boy who has just bought a lovely vert I've cut all the tabs off
Cheers lads and lasses
