Too my knowledge you need those clips... Double sided 3m tape shouldnt be able to hold the side skirts up... Go to home depot and buy some brackets?

I think that would be the best option for you... unless you can get those OEM brackets.. Dont rely on just 3m double sided tape

i've used 3m super strong weather resistant double side tape and 2 screws on each end.. it works but not the best idea imo.

for the clean flush look, i'd seriously suggest brackets for max. support.

not "L", is a "U" shape, you can find it at home depot, and the underneat mounting clip you can buy it from any honda or acura dealership, but you have to provide the right part's number to them.

You need those brackets for the pinch well, Don't half *** it. Did you buy the kit from the dealership without the brackets? If you did, just tell them you didn't recieve them. They don't want to unass them, buy the side skirt kits from the dealer, take the brackets out and try to take the kit back claiming wrong color or didn't like the way it looks, you get your money back and walk away with brackets. I know the Honda dealer here doesn't really check for all of the hardware.

If you can wait till after the holidays, it's better for me, as right now I'm battling my property manager cause my whole condo was flooded the other day. I don't even have my tools or anything. Plus nice day or not, I'd be worried about the double-sided tape sticking. If you can wait till the first week of January, holla, and I'll be glad to help you out.
