Is it save to drill the side under panel?

hi,

I would like to ask if it is safe to drill the under of the side of the car?

I mean the piece between 2 wheels and below the door. (under side panel?)

Because I want to install the side skirt myself and it looks like the side skirt is screw on.

Can someone tell me? thanks!

It didn't come with instructions? I figure it did because it's OEM. I don't think you need to drill underneath the door panel. I have a coupe and both the OEM and Aero sides don't require drilling underneath the door panel.

Does your side look like this? Does it have four 'tabs' on the kit the go underneath the car?

hi, thanks for helping.

The kit I have is actually RS kits. They look exactly like the oem one. I also had the instruction for coupe, but becaue there are inconsistency, that is why I ask for help here.

For sedan, I fail to see the little piece under the car where the "tap" should attach to. Also, I didn't receive "tap" for side skirt. I have "tap" for front and rear lip, and the installation of them look pretty obvious.

Is it a difference between sedan and coupe? anyone here who has a sedan and body kit mind take a llok of the under of their car and tell me?

thanks
