sideskirts that dont require additional body work?

i noticed a few sideskirts are installed by drilling holes and bolting the skirts on to the door panels. are there skirts that dont require all that damn work?

The sideskirts are drilled but NOT through the car!!..

When you uninstall your oem sideskirts there are 4-5 clips that'll clip on to the door jam area. Once uninstalled you'll fill in these 1"x1" holes ment for the OEM Clips with "filler clips" these clips do not clip onto antyhing but that 1"x1" hole. Now you'll tap the screw through the sideskirts and into the clip..

^ there are alot of shops that just tap it into the car tho!! ._.

^ applies to all.. actually if you look at all of our sideskirts (I've personally handle and seen: Greddy, Kenstyle, Impul, Stillen, OEMs, APR's Widebody - both authentics and replicas all) include groves, indents on where to tap the screw in.. These line up perfectly with the clips..

I have seen shops completely butcher the job an drill into the car tho.

I saw a pontiac that had a full body kit that was screwed onto the car... haha... they used wood screws to hold the entire kit in place.
