Do you guys know of any good tips on installing stock 97-99 eclipse sideskirts. I have a 96 Esi so it will need holes to be drilled. Is there a template for drilling the holes?? What drill bit sizes should I use?
I have all 6 pieces with every tab\screw still entact. I have a drill but dont know what bit size to use. Can i use chalk on the push tabs and then press it up against the car then drill??

use can use double heavy duty industrial strength velcrow from home depot. the for the bottom where the skirt goes under the car, those will need to be self tapped.

get a paint pen and mark on the tip of the clips that go into the holes then line it up against the body, the paint marks will go on the car right where the holes need to be.

Use 3M double sided tape (it's a lot stronger than industrial strength velcro). 3M makes stuff meant for installing moldings, side skirts etc. It's black and thinner than the regular white double-sided tape that normal stores sell. You may need to look in an auto or paint shop for it though. I've tried industrial strength velcro on other things and I wouldn't recommend it.
