Default Installing INGS Sideskirts

Hey guys I got replica INGS fiberglass sideskirts and I am a little confused on how these install. I took them to my bodyshop and the guy said that the OEM ones have snap clips on the back and on the INGS there is no place to put the clips onto. What is the solution to this?

The solution is to drill holes into the fawking side skirts...if your body shop guy didn't know that go to another bodyshop.

It looks like we can drill holes for the bottom, but the clips are the problem. He put them up to see if they fit and the back of the rocker seems to be 1/2 inch short.

that jus the nature of aftermarket side skirts. they never have the same oem mounts. but i wouldnt worry bout that too much. jus fit them and put on the screw on each end. becus its fb the fit should be tight. if it was poly you wouldve double stick tape along the edge

That's what I did with my INGS skirts... drilled holes and called it a day. Fitment was pretty darn good.
