The main PITA is going to be drilling the holes to attach the side skirts. I don't have a write-up on this, but mainly what you have to do is line up the T/A side skirts on your Formula and then determine where the holes have to be drilled to attach them.
could not fine one smart ***

GO 2 UR LOCAL AUTO STORE AND BY #8 SELF TAPPING SCREW BY 3/4 THATS FOR THE BOTTOM SIDE, ON THE UPPER SIDE REMOVE ALL CLIPS BY 3M DOUBLE SIDE TAPE NOT THE CHEAP ONE IT HAS TO BE THE ONE FOR MOLDINGS AND ROCKER PANELS IS ABOUT 11.00 BUCKS, CLEAN BOTH AREA WITH BRAKE CLEANER PUT THE TAPE ON THE SKIRT FIRST ALIGN IT U NEED 2 PEOPLE FOR THIS HOLD IT IN PLACE AND PUT YOUR FIRST SCREW HALF WAY ONCE THAT ONE IS DONE REPEAT THE PROCESS WITH THE REST. THEN PEEL OFF THE TAPE AND PRESS FIRMLY TO REMOVE ANY AIR THEN FINISH TIGHTEN THE SCREW SAME PROCESS FOR THE OTHER SIDE. ONCE THATS DONE U R GONNA NEED TO DRILL TWO HOLES THE SKIRT HAS A HOLE IN THE FRONT USE A 7/32 DRILL BIT, THEN USE THE CLIPS FOR THE FOAM BUT SMALLER.

Use double sided tape on the sides and use screws on each end underneath. It's a lot easier to fit. Mine have been installed that way for a year and I haven't had any problems.

I did it this way on my firebird as well, worked perfectly fine. Makes the car look a million times better too
