I am a 07 G5 base model. I am in the process of buying a pair of side skirts

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...Z3102949545640

and had a couple questions about install. I know i need to cut the slits in the side of the car but how exactly do the side skirts install. I know these clips are used

how do i use these to install the skirts??

thanks

 

on the bottom they just snap in a hole, and the flat part of the clip slides over slits on the skirt. You can drill holes for the side or use adhesive

 

what color is your g5?

 

black why?

are these side skirts what I want?

any pics or how to on the install?i dont see any spot on these side skirts where the clips would attach to the skirts..??..

 

bump...still trying to get a grasp on how to install the side skirts, I just bought a pair and will be getting them next week hopefully, then painted so I need to try and figure out how to install the skirts. i drill holes not cut slits correct? I guess i dont really understand how the clips work because I cant really see anyway from pics on ebay of how the clips attach to the skirts. any clarification is appreciated!
thanks alot

 

im doing this myself right now. the holes are up under the body on us base models (well on the cobalt they are) there are clips on the skirts that slid into the clip that goes into the car. like dayhoff said u can drill holes or use 3m adhesive. im gonna use adhesive just cause i dont want to drill holes into the car

 

once you get the install done, can you let me know how it went and what you did exactly, maybbe create a how to?

 

I would suggest manning up and drilling the hole, much better fitment and u don't run the chance of it just popping off

 

You need to drill holes.

 

I am planning on drilling the holes not taping, but I dont really understand yet where the holes need to be drilled and how exactly the clips attach to the side skirts.

 

youll understand when you get them, id take pics of mine, but they are out for paint atm

 

mine will be shipped in the next couple days so once i get them maybe i will be cleared up.

 

btw, skirts are universal for both sedans and coupes. I picked up some skirts off a buddys ss and fit fine for my sedan. I used the clips but used epoxy resin glue stuff, not tape or drill holes. I know drilling holes is more safe and all, but some of us dont like any more holes then necessary in our cars. (not lazy ither)

 

just got the skirts but have no god damn clue how the clips,(pics attached) attach to the skirts themselves and then to the car. I thought the skirts had notches or slits or something but they are just one solid piece. HELP PLEASE!!

Those are not stock ss skirts , so I dunno what to tell u
, most aftermarket stuff u gotta tape on

 

so there is no way to use the clips to install this? I dont drill slits in the skirts then put the clips on somewhat like putting a rear lip on the rear bumper???...??? I dont know what to do now...!!!

 

can anyone find pics for me of what the backside of the skirts look like so i know how the clips even attach to the skirts. If i new how the clips attached to the skirts I might be able to make somehting work but I dont want it to look like **** so any pics are appreciated.

 

those arent the ss skirts dude... idk what those are or even where to start with clips or attaching them...

 

Dude just double aide tape it one like any one else would half to,
Probably one of the easiest things u can do, and if u can't handle it maybe u should just stop and go pay some one else to install them for u

 

I was worried that double sided tape wouldnt hold but i am going to do it, i can handle putting this **** on fyi
