Default Initial D / VIS "Wings" / Ings N Spec Side Skirt Install

Question for you guys:

We're in the last phase of installing the VIS version of this kit and are trying to figure out the cleanest way to install the side skirts. The factory has two rows of clips that attach from the bottom and top (recessed area of door opening). It's fairly straight forward to drill the aftermarket piece on the bottom and side attachment points, but what did you do for the recessed row in the door way? It needs some type of attachment to keep it from bowing out . . .

Ings N-spec is straight forward and fitment is great. Good luck with the knock off versions...I've heard from several people that one side is actually longer than the other and does not line up.

Saving 2K to 3K on quality replica body kit, why not. Nobody would really care if you use replica. As long as they fit good and look good.

I actually have the VIS "Wings" kit and IMHO, its not bad. We had to fabricate the front bumper to fit the intercooler and the rear had to be customized to align all the lights and hatch release lever. Overall, not a bad kit. The side skirts seem to line up perfectly . . . just need to know a good way to secure them inside the door way. Grant it, we could just drill a few holes, but I want to see how everyone else did it and use the best method.
