Prepare to get "jiggy" with your car.

On my car the skirts were 1/4" too short but that is typical I learned from
other people's installs.  I took a grinder and a dremel and "modded" my car
in the area of the lower rear wheel arch.  My skirts now fit flush with the
car and don't have that bent look some cars have.  I know its tough to
understand what I am saying without pics. but I don't know any other way
to describe it.  My buddy went into cardiac arrest when he saw me cutting
on a brand spanking new car in the beginning of the install.

Once that funky german glue dries it is impossible to get off.  They don't
know how to win a war but they sure can build some killer glue.
