I haven't put the side skirts yet but Today the weather was good so I took my car out. I tried to put on the rear lips. I took off the splash guard, screwed the 2 screws of the lip near the wheel, but for the last screw on the back, there's no actual hole for it. Is it the same for you guys? If yes, you just drilled a hole?

Yes theres no hole.... mine is just held on with 3m adhesive... lol I have no issues so far.
I was going to drill it but I never had one available at that time. Also its already been 3 months.
Put the Rear Center Valence on first... If you have that.

Adhesive?? There's some resistance and you literally have to push the end of the rear lip to put it in place... is adhesive that sticky? I think I might seal it with sealant lol but I have to drill my front bumper too for the CL lip so I might go rent a drill too..

3M brands is the best and It has been Raining here like crazy. BTW the center Rear Valence is just held on with adhesive with no drilling necessary .

Go to walmart or any auto parts store pick up the GREY 3M foam tape.
Just make sure you clean both surfaces before sticking it on.

No please dont make holes in your bumper. I did that the lip ripped off because it was not flexible enough. then i had nasty holes on my bumper. Do we Kevin and i did, buy the brick edging at a gradening store then make your own lip out of that and then mount the cL lip on that, trust me it will sit better and you can remove it any time you want. plus you wont have holes on your bumper :)

I drilled holes and added extra screws to the rear skirts. I aint risking losing those.

My skirts follow original oem holes.

My sides and rear are also attached with new industrial doubled sided foam tape.

the front lip is screwed on to brick edging like what toyosolv6 said, then screwed onto the bumper. (screws will be on the bottom so visible damage on the bumper.

But in order to mount the brick edging you still have to drill holes under the bumper no?

And Toy1mzfe, how many holes did you drill on the back(rear) side of your side skirts? Thanks again for the CL lip discovery:)

^^ hey no problem man.

i only added holes at the other end. I just drilled one screw in each rear apron. Make sure you have the right angle with the rears. they seems to always wanna curve upwards. Adjust it and step back to see if it looks good. I have seen a bunch of rears installed crooked.
