Side Skirt Question

Postby truenoboy » Mon Feb 04, 2013 10:51 pm

Do holes need to be drilled in the side of the car to mount them, or are people mounting them some way else? I'm thinking about getting a set of skirts, but not at the expense of boring holes in my newly restored car.

I used self-tapping screws on mine, who cares about the holes you can always cover it w/ bondo...

If it's in your plans, you must secure them to the rocker panels by means of drilling & fastened with screws. Factory OEM sideskirts are held in place by factory fasteners.... I can understand your point tho' about blowing new holes in your resto, but it's the only way to mount them up safely to the car. These things do fly off of cars if installed incorrectly. Ask me...?!? :oops: No I don't want to talk about it!
