i'm not 100% sure, but they should be screwed on and possibly taped or glued also. try getting under the car and looking along the top lip of the skirts, you might be able to just slide your hand across and feel the screws, or i guess they're probably bolts, but whatever

Should be a combination of 3M double sided adheasive tape and a few bolts on the end to screw in. You will need to drill the side skirts for a hole and if you didn't get the tape with the kit, time for a trip to home depot

you should go ahead and bolt them on even if you did get tape. i wouldn't trust tape to hold on a $400+ body kit going down the highway at who knows how fast with who knows how many pot holes

Was the kit made for a 4-door? If so that's awesome! If not your going to have a hell of a time making it fit.

Side skirts should be the same length wheather for a coupe or 4dr. Just on a 4 dr, you cannot have anything above the rocker pannel.
