Default Mounting OEM T/A side skirts???

I am going to be installing the side skirts on my car pretty soon and had a few questions. I am installing them on a car that never had them before. I know I am going to have to drill into the rocker panels so the snaps on the gfx will mount up. I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how they mounted them up on a non ground effect car or any ideas in gerenal to make sure that they mount up perfect. Also... Will the 3M double sided tape (or another brand??) work in place of the snaps, Im not a big fan of drilling holes in my car, but if necessary i'll do it. Any help would be appriciated

I would use some 3M tape instead of drilling holes. Buy the stuff that's for emblems. The stuff is super strong I think it would hold them just fine

Awesome, I think that im going to go that route instead. There was a thread on here I read where someone used the 3m stuff to hold the CME on the back of a Camaro and it worked great. Thanks for the responces guys
