Default Installing JDM sideskirts on EP

I appologize in advance if this has been covered already. But I've been searching and can't find any specifics on installing the skirts. Main thing is does anyone have a scamatic or stensil for drilling/cutting the holes for all the pop clips? I have the complete jdm bumper/lip conversion for it and everything else looks pretty self explanatory.

Drilling holes on the body of someone else's car just makes me a bit nervous haha. So any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Zol

I used sticky clips for my skirts. PN: 91513-S5S-E01.

The thing that sucks is that I remember reading that the clips were on backorder, so I'm not sure if dealers have been able to get them. Another thing is cost...they are around $4-5/clip and you'll need 12 for each side...you can use half that number so long as you place them correctly.

The plus side is that they require no drilling and the adhesive is very strong so long as you prep the surface...have had my skirts on for over a year and a half and no problems.

You might also want to pick up the underbody clips from japanparts.com for extra support. (They are around $30 shipped)

I personally would have loved to go the 'correct' way and drill the holes; but I didn't want to do it myself and I know most shops would charge and arm and a leg for this since there are no templates that I know of. I don't even think the factory service manual has anything.

well, I will hit up honda and see what they say about the sticky stuff. Money's no real object, I mean he's already spent $2500 on the bumpers n skirts. Whats another 100bucks haha.

thanks,
