Someone asked me about the fit & finish of our Evo Rock Skins. I figured why not post here? I uploaded high-res close-ups of the skins after installation, and then a few smaller pictures of activities during the install. I HIGHLY recommend buying a tool such as the Westward 5TUW5 to crimp the nutserts.
Note that most of the excess silicon has been removed since these pictures were taken.
Sorry if the pictures are too big, or if this is in the wrong thread.

Some shots of the fit & finish:
Drilling into our perfectly good sheetmetal ... this was scary ...
What did we just do?!
Placing the nutsert into the newly-drilled hole. It required gentle use of a hammer:
The nutsert after placement into the sheetmetal, but before being crimped:
The nutsert, after threading our Westward nutsert tool. This is before crimping:
What a nutsert looks like from the side after being crimped:
What a nutsert looks like from the front after being crimped:
No turning back now. Look at all of those nutserts!
Prepping for paint:
Painting our pinch seam and wheel wells. Otherwise, the silver body paint would protrude beneath the skins and look kinda weird:
Caulking:
Done!
