I finally got some 97-99 side skirts for my car, though since it is an RS, it doesn't have any right now.

How difficult will it be to add side skirts ( full set ) onto my car? Tips and advice maybe?
 
I just did it to my talon..

you can either : go to the dealer and pick up the clips, then measure (measure measure measure ) then drill.. make sure you pick the right drill size (just use a sheet of tin first, then put a clip through to see if it fits).

or you can do it like me : half correctly and half with selftap screws because it got so frustrating that I messed the measurements up..
 
my 96 rs didnt have the stock skirts, i still put the ground effect skirts on, no problem, yeah sure, maybe it might help to have the stock ones so there isnt much movement on the aftermarket ones, but it doesnt matter all to much i guess
 
i had a full kit of my 98 eclipse... heres how i attached them

firstly make sure they fit and are painted. i put doulbed sided tape on the top, bottom, and side of the skirt (i had low rise blitzs) then got someone to help put the skirt where i wanted it pressing it down to contact all the tape. i got them to keepholding it and rivoted both ends on the inside part of the front and rear wheel wells. voila, you now have side skirts.
