Question Whats the best way to install side skirts?

Its been awhile guys, there just hasn't been a lot going on lately.

Anyway, I'm looking to install a pair of stock side skirts on the Talon this weekend, the problem is I don't know whats the best way of do it. I've searched on all kinds of DSM forums, and I can't seem to find a definite answer.

One method some use is 3M Double Sided tape that you can buy at Home Depot. But the thing is the back of side skirts don't exactly go up against the body of the car, only the edge does which is the spot that goes into the groove that runs on the bottom of the car. So how are they sticking these on? How reliable can the tape really be when driving around?

Some also say to drill holes into the bottom of the car with skirts lined up, and use screws to hold them up. IMO this would be the safest and easiest way to do it, but I'm concerned about one thing. RUST! What are the possibilities of the holes with the screws rusting out?

What do you guys think is the best way to install side skirts? I'm open to ideas, I just don't want these things falling off.
