Need Help with TRD Sideskirt.... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So I bought TRD sideskirts and when I recieved them, they were in boxes and bent in half. I was told that since they are made out of polyurethane, they would reform back into their original shape. Well, i put them in the basement and spread them out for a couple of weeks now and, the area where the sideskirts were bent are still a bit deformed. Well, I wouldn't say deformed, but more like, not even along the bottom. You can kinda see the area that was bent cause the sideskirts have these little flares (maybe from being overstretched whent bent). What can I do to fix this? Blow dryer to heat it up? Help if you can please. Thanks.

it shoudn't be a problem once they're installed and screwed/taped in place

my TRD side skirts have some goofy flares in the center too... it was just part of the moly designs kit... i dunno maybe yours is more drastic, but if i saw a pic i could compare

Hit the area with a heat gun, brace it from behind to force it into correct shape, otherwise it should straighten out when installed.

ok...thanks guys, I was getting worried there for a sec thinking my sideskirts would look like crap when installed that way. I'll make sure to hit it with a heat gun or something and see if it works. If not I'll post up again and rant...

Any good ideas for a back bumper... I was thinking extreme rear bumper. I'll be getting r34 front real soon. What do you guys think...?

Excellent choice in style. The TRD sideskirts match the car and R33 bumper looks good. The extreme rear bumper is not my fav but still good looking. The main complaint I have with Camry bodykits is the sideskirts are always really flashy and complicated while the rest of the car is plain and smooth. It ends up looking like the bodykit was scabbed on and not made for the car. TRD sideskirts seem like a continuation of the doors though. Smooth, not to flashy but good looking. R33 front is my fav front now. Post pics when done!
