hahaha. well that the best way i can think of without putting more holes in your car.

or you can always try and bondo the clips from the oem skirts onto the impul one and buy new clips for the ones that broke. i don't know how well the bondo-ed clips will hold up though...

the kenstyle sideskirts came with screws and screw holes...

the screw holes snapped into place where the OEM holes were and you simply screwed the skirt into the hole to hold it on.

your body shop should be able to find a way to do it and make it look clean.

that is what i figured. authentics come with some sort of screw holes.

and even with this replica...i'm paying less to have it painted/fitted/installed and the actual skirts themselves than an authentic skirt unpainted. plus i would have to wait much longer for an authentic.

Well we countersunk the holes that we put in the kit and used countersink screw for a flush fit. then they painted over the screw holes for a clean look ... I mean you say you want show quality but you are planning to put screws in and paint over them.
