Hi guys.
I bought these skirts a few months ago, but can't decide how to attach them.
They are now painted.
They don't have clips.
should i bolt them on from the bottom, or glue them on? or both?

if there are no fixing points then u could mould some out of fibreglass, or use bonder to stick it on , although i dont reckon they would stay on long

Get some aluminum angle iron a small size 1/2" x 1/2" run it along the top of the seam bellow the door. This will be your mounting shelf. Screw the aluminum into the side every foot or so. Now that you have this mounted to your car you can run a bead of epoxy along the other flat mounting surface ( your top is now secured), screw the bottom of the
skirt just bellow the bottom edge, dry test fit if you need to make cuts use a dremel and slowly grind away the areas you need to make it fit.
Good luck.

ps if they are abs you can make your supports (instead of angle iron) out of abs strips and instead of epoxy use ABS pipe cement, you need to more careful because once it fuses you can not pry them apart.
