Does Mitsu make an overlay or something to show where you need to drill the holes? I would be imposible to figure it out without some kind of aid. I wanna do this shit myself.

put a dab of paint on the back of the side skirt where the holes need to be drilled and then press the skirt onto the car and then it will show you where to drill.

It's not really that hard to do. I did the complete 97-99 conversion on my talon, the side skirts were probably the easiest part

Could I bother you for a step-by-step on how you installed the skirts? :7

total of 8 metal screws. 2 on each end of the sideskirt. Guestimate where the skirts meet the inner fender body and drill away. After that, get some touch up paint and do it over the screws. That's what I did. Everytime some rice boy talk about my ghettoed sideskirts, I show him 15psi.

LOL! Noway! I'm gonna do this up right!

It shouldn't be that bad. I did mine few years back. Install the long one first, then the front small peice next. I used some clay/pladydo type putty and pressed/alligned the side skirts on to the body. That should give you an idea where to drill. That's pretty much it.

Good idea dude! :thumbsup

when my sisters 96 eclipse got wrecked into the side, satin just used double sided tape across the top and then 2 sheetmetal screws on each sides of the long skirts where they meet the bottom of the quarter and the fender. just throwing out another idea although using the paint tab i said would work too.

what do you do about all those plastic tabs sticking off the back of the side skirts? cut them off?

I cant believe no one mentioned the tape...
Once you find the location to drill the holes, Get that construction grade dual sided tape. Its brought up every time I see one of these posts. Do a search for specifics, sorry i havn't done it yet myself so I dont have specific info.
