Base model g5. side skirts?

Just got ss/gt stock side skirts cheap! Only question is do I have to drill holes in to my car to install these? And where is a good place to get the clips for cheap? The dealer wants $387 for 28 clips. I think that's a rip off!

You can get clips way cheaper than that. Just find which size you need and search online. A guy at my work has a side job of selling body clips and 25-50 cents a clip depending on how big.

Yeah you do. You need to drill about 6-7 holes on the side of the car. There are already holes under the car. I used 4 clips on the side and 2 underneath (per side skirt). Its been holding up well for a year

Correct me if I am misunderstanding your post OP, but you need 28 clips right? The kit from ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/15-Ro...Q5fAccessories) comes in a pack of 15...therefore you only need to purchase two packs:

8.99 x 2 = 17.98 ??

You have to drill holes for the clips. I believe they require 1/4" holes in the rocker where ever a clip will be. The clips I got on ebay for dirt cheap. Set of 15 for $9. Buy 2 boxes and your all set. Shipping will probably be combined so out the door it will probably run around $22

I know hey. I got them on with out those gay clips. Thank god for self tapping sheet metal screws and 3M double sided tape! It's holding very strong! A way better idea then drilling holes into your ride.
