no pics, and i'm not sure about how to install... but i must say, without the t/a rear bumper, the side skirts won't flow at all. they'll flow with the front just fine, since the bumper is molded like the t/a bumper to where it looks good with the gfx. but the rear just won't look right at all.

Holes need to be drilled/cut, and a simple search should get some results...

oh, than definitely do it... you need it . The same thing i said applies the opposite way as well, the t/a bumper needs the gfx to flow right.

like ZexGX said, i'm pretty sure they bolt up, so you'd need to drill holes. But really, some 3m double sided tape should do the job. that's all many gfx kits use, and thats how the CME valences are held up too.
