Default Side skirts

Been considering side skirts but don't like the idea i would have to drill some holes to mount. Has anyone put side skirts on without drilling? Using only existing screw holes?

Mine required drilling and I damn near cried when I did it but it is easy and looks great.

Easy, don't put them on! I would not trust tape.

These are one style we sell. This is my personal car I just installed them on. NO DRILLING!

We used 3 of the existing screws up front and 2 in the back. In the middle we used 3M VHB tape and these things are rock solid. The car has already seen triple digit speeds with no issues at all.

I got the Lashway Motorsports front splitter AND side skirts. None of these required any drilling whatsoever.

I had the same trepidation as you, but once you make the first hole, you get over it. Also, I had a buddy help me and "encourage" me to "just do it" lol

I put the ACS rockers on and the poverty splitter with pop rivets, don't sweat it. just do it. Trust me, after the first hole, you'll be fine.
