Side Skirts

Hi, anyone here has DIYed their side skirts without drilling holes on the sides of thier car bodies ? I recalled reading someone using strong adhesive tape as an alternative. Are there bolts moulded into the side skirts which are suppose to fit into the holes drilled on the under side of the car body ? Anyone can help with pictures ?

You can use some 3M double sided tape to hold them on, but you might want to look at screwing them in on the ends just to be safe.

I strongly recomend you drill or have a body shop use bodypuddy to mold your kit! there is a reason we bolt them on!
Adhessive tape in warm weather expands and in very cold weather it becomes brittle. Keepin_it_clean even qouted in a post of mine once about his from kamanari lip falling off, and he dragged it for like a mile!
do you want this to happen? nope..
bolt and be safe same goes with carbon fiber hoods
this isnt taste its safety!
mold your kit if you like but remeber later in its life due to body flux it will crack..there is a chance however the new body puddy is quiet good stuff. I mean the non-pep boys stuff

ohh ya also bolt under your body kit to the upper portion of the car. I did this because of the rain! I dont want this thing going anywere and the kaminari side skirts hold water!!
