3M double-side tape (the grey stuff, not the white), rivots, screws, etc. I did my kit on the 98 with 3M tape and metal tapping screws. The 92 already had the kit when I got it. Looks like rivots were used on that one.

use screws or rivets sparingly(ie and the corners by the wheels to hold the sides in place. in the license plate hole, in the corners where the fog laps go, and on the inside edges of the door for the rocker moldings. i only used tape on the front and rear, if you put it on the sides it may make the side skirt too big and hit against the door. prefit everything before taping it down to make sure that it goes where it's supposed to go. if youre gonna have it painted, prefit it, take it off, have it painted and reinstall it

depends on what angle you hit at, but it probably will.

A very good tip that Awsm66 gave me is to put a screw in the muffler cut-out

I actually put two there (on each side of my Greddy since I didnt want to take it off to put one in the middle), I put 4 behind the license plate, and 2 on each wheel well.

Then I put the sideskirts on with 3 screws along the door sills (one between the doors, one toward the back of the rear door, and one toward the front of the front door), and 2 in each wheel well front and back. I didnt use any tape on the sideskirts either

1) Create a geocities site or something of that nature.
2) For an avator only a moderator can do that and you have to donate
3) You first need a host the copy and paste the picture url into the {img]**[/img]
for example = [img]www***.com/***.jpg[/img]
My avator is hosted on a geocities.com site. It's not really the site it's just the part where I uploaded the pic. I know that they have bandwidth issues when you link so I did it that way.
