Default ABS Dynamics Do-Luck Sides Fitment Issues

I have picked up a set up ABS Dynamics plastic side skirts. Does anyone have any experience with these? Do these go over the oem side skirts? The website says direct bolt on but that does not seem to be the case..

Thanks for the help..

You need to take off the OEM sides and test fit these one's before doing anything

Welcome to the world of aftermarket products. Can you attach the back and front or dont they line up?

I can put screws in the back and the front and the middle and " make " it work with use of dremel. I just thought there was some other way i should be mounting them or any other hardware i might be needing or missing.

Use the OEM Hardware for the front & back and then for the sill area I had to drill and use Stainless Steels screws with a countersink washer to tighten down that area.

I probably wouldn't have drilled into the chassis. That's pretty dedicated to making something that doesn't fit well, fit.

These did fit , except with aftermarket kits you always have to adapt something. Also the holes are filled with a sealant before attaching.
