How to Install Street Scene Gen 1 Side Skirts on your Mustang

Shop Parts in this Guide

1.    First you will need to remove the stock side skirts from the vehicle. They are held on by plastic
clips.
2.    After the side skirts are prepped and painted, double-sided tape should be applied to the
indentation on the inside of the side skirts. This surface has to be CLEAN and DRY for the tape to properly adhere. A residual-free cleaner is recommended (e.g. Wurth TM Clean-Solve) to prepare the surface.
The surface of the vehicle should also be prepped and cleaned for proper adhesion (Fig.1) For BEST results after cleaning; use of an adhesion promoter such as 3M TM part #06396 should be applied to wherever tape will be used. When applying tape, make sure that tape is smooth and wrinkle free.
3.    After applying the tape, pull back approximately 1 inch of protective covering from the tape on each end. Make sure the film is sticking out. (Fig.2) Place the side skirt GENTLY on the vehicle and make sure
you have it positioned correctly. If adhesion promoter was used you will NOT get a second chance! While holding it in position, pull the tabs you created while applying light downward pressure. Continue this taking care not to tear off the tabs by pulling to hard. After all the film is removed, apply firm pressure all around to insure the tape has bonded properly.


4.    Drill 1 small pilot hole onto both ends of the side skirt and use the provided screws to secure the side skirt onto the vehicle.
5.    Done! Enjoy the looks of your new Street Scene side skirts.



STREET SCENE URETHANE PAINT PREPERATION 
PROPER PAINTING TECHNIQUES FOR POLY URETHANE PRODUCTS 
ALL PARTS SHOULD BE PROFESSIONALLY PAINTED 

Pre-fit the component to vehicle. Once you are assured that you have the right component you may proceed, we highly recommend using masking tape anywhere the component may be touching the vehicle body to prevent scratches during the pre-fit. 

1.    The first step will help to remove pinholes and bubbles that form in the poly urethane. First use a 220 grit sand paper with a DA sander. Sand part complete.
2.    Next clean part with aerosol cleaner ( wax & grease remover).
3.    Spray booth: Prime part complete. ( Use PCL 905 primer).
4.    Once part is dry, sand with 320 DA sander. To finish the part wet sand entire part with 400 grit sand paper by hand. This will! give the part a nice finish before painting it.
5.    Clean part again.

6.    Spray booth: Next spray sealer, Use DP 48 ( PPG white sealer). Do this to make the part white before painting it. With the part still in the spray booth then finish painting the part with the factory matched color, and then finish with clear coat. ( Use PPG 2010 clear ).
7.    Neat color sand I wet sand the part. First use 1000 grit wet/ dry sand paper and sand any dirt or runs out. Then go over the entire part with 1500. Last go over the part with 2000. Sand mostly the smooth and flat surfaces, trying to stayaway from the edges so that you do not burn ( go through the painted surface ) it laterusing the buffer.
8.    Next buff it with a rubbing compound, and finish it with polish. Wash the surface and you will have a beautifully finished part.

MPORTANT PAINT PREP INSTRUCTIONS URETHANE PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS

Urethane body components require a special cleaning and painting procedure to obtain a proper finish. Once the urethane components have been properly pre-filled CLEAN AND SCRUB THEM Using plenty of hot water, plenty of scouring powder ( Like AJAX Or COMET and a# 7447 Scotch Brite Pad). Scrub each piece thoroughly until there are no shiny spots. Scrub all surfaces expecially the back side top sections that will be against the body. You will be applying double sided tape to this area so clean and sand it !. 
The goal is to achieve an even dull finish on all surfaces to be painted. After you've finished scrubbing the parts completely repeat the procedure one more time. If this is not done properly the paint will not stick. 
Any automotive primer will provide excellent adhesion to the part if the surface is properly prepared. 
how ever ! WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING LACQUER PRIMER ON URETHANE COMPONENTS DUE TO IT'S RIGIDITY. Elastomeric ot acrylic primers can be used but elastomeric primers due to the flex agent added are preferred over acrylic primers. Light sanding is recommended after primer has dried and before final color painting.
