Yeah, I was thinking about doing that with the side skirt screws but there are only two... at least on the back there are only two... I didn't check the front ones but two doesn't seem like it will be enough.

I need to know if I do drill into the car if it is going to be cool... I just have this fear of drilling and then finding out I hit a wire or something. Yeah I know nowthing about cars.

As for if they look good... I got them more to cut back on rocks flying up and chiping my side skirts and further messing up my paint. I think they look good. At least they're better then the Tweety Bird ones I was thinking bout... j/p

Oh and I'll be sure to take some better pics tomorrow if I get them mounted. I'm going to bed now. I live a boring, mundane life.

Thanks for the suggestions... keep them comming.

Where did you get those? And for how much? If they aren't $400, I need a set...

Yeah I saw the ones they have for 400 and that's just nuts... I'll only pay 400 bucks if they make cars in front of me part like the Red Sea before Moses. These flaps I got from Ebay. They were like 50 bucks or something. I forget. I am not sure if they are genuine Ralliart... but they do the job and frankly I don't give a damn. heh.

I'm going to try to put them on later cause today it's raining... stupid Ivan.

Yeah, lets hope. I think you are right. But in the mean time what do I do about the mud flaps besides use them as dinner trays or non-aerodynamic frisbies? Did I spell that right? Anyhow.

Questions: What size screws? Did you take out the plastic screws holding the side skirts? Do you have pictures so I don't "F" this up? And how's the weather where you are? It raining really bad here... sucks really...
