HELP: Anyone installed AIT Racing Kenstyle Side Skirts?

Does anyone here have AIT Racing Kenstyle side skirts on your G35 coupe? I purchased these to put on my gf's G. The body shop contacted me saying they have no clue how to secure the side skirts since they're pretty much "raw material" and there's no anglers/brackets that come with it. I'm trying to see how you guys installed them. Thanks in advance!

They replace the clips that your oem skirts snap into. The shop can use a bolt to tighten the skirts to the clips. Bodyshop sounds kinda sketchy if they cant figure out how to fabricate sideskirts on. I hope they are doing it for cheap at least. Oh and are you having the badge slot filled in? It looks much better with it filled in imo.

Those are replica so I don't think there are any slots?

But yea the body shop is kind of mom and pop and they'd been doing insurance/OEM work for many years. I went there because they do really good paint match and really good with filling/molding and such. I guess even though they're older, they're still noobs when it comes to aftermarket body parts.

I have replicas too and the sides have indentions where the bolt will go through the skirt and attach to the clips in the body. They will have to drill through to make the actual holes, but just line it up and mark it.

Thanks for the info! I'm sure they'd know how to do the drilling If not, I'm totally not paying for the installation!
