Pretty sure you'd have to do some drilling on your car. I don't think they'll look right unless you have the skirts on the front and back bumpers too. I've seen a forum member's car where he had his rocker moldings painted to match the car and it looked very cool. I'm still considering having it done myself. A lot cheaper and a lot easier to go back to original if you ever need/want to.

Hopefully you plan to keep the car forever.

There was a GM showcar back around 1970, a C3 roadster with cut-down windscreen and fender skirts over the rear wheels. Kind of a Bonneville land speed record look, it was nice. Might have been called the Astro something or other.

I think 81bionicvette had them on his yellow 81 I think. That is a hot vette.

They probably attach with screws and double-sided tape, unless you want to glass them in, which is a whole other story. You could always try painting your rocker mouldings body color to visually lower the side of the car to match the low front end.
