Default C7 side skirts install

I live in the Seattle Bellevue area and won a set of RPI side skirts. Problem is I don't have a lift or anyway to install. Does anyone know of a reasonable place around here to get these installed?

You can do them in your garage. I did mine by putting the car on blocks and laying on the ground and using the floor jack with a block to snug up the side skirts and hold them in place before I drilled.

I'd be happy to help you install them if you want to bring the car to me. I live in Black Diamond.

Thank you Ken, that is a very generous offer. My unfortunate situation is I do not have a garage currently. I will message you my phone number and maybe we could coordinate I would love the help and meeting a fellow Corvette owner up here. I'll bring the beer

I just installed a set on my C7. Purchased them from C7 Carbon. I used double sided tape between the factory screws because I didn't want drill the body. That has worked just great and I didn't even raise the car at all. I was surprised as I thought I would have to raise the car. You might wait to dry fit the skirts.

Five in total. Three in the front and two in the back. Used a common 1/4 drive racket and socket.
