putting on ls sport skirts?
Tuesday, November 04, 2008 6:16 PM
Well I've had my ls sport skirts on for about two months with only two screws on each side, I have the clips or whatever they are that go along the inside of the skirt. Since my car is the base cav it doesnnt have the holes, my question is what is the correct size drill bit used to make the holes for these clips? I really wanna put em on already I'm scared the skirts are gonna fly off or something lol

I have no idea honestly.
I just used 3M side molding tape and covers the end of the skirt from one end to the other where it makes contact with the rocker panel(?).
Been on there for a good 5-6 months no issues.

Still used the screws on the end tho.

Yea but I don't see how the skirts would stay on using a screw since the holes are really big and the other clips just kinda pop on

So the 5/16's drill bit makes the right sized hole? Not too big and not too small?

When u say along the bottom do u mean the part right under the door or the part actually under the car? Because I know that the ls skirts are fastened under the car but the guy who had em before me cut that part off and just had them with the clips, ill try that but won't the screws slide out since they are so thin the hole for the clips are pretty wide
