If you take your time and follow the instructions you wont have a problem , The templates for drilling the holes are a perfect match .

the drilling is what i'm afraid of. i'm about as handy as chevy chase with a 6-shooter in "three amigos."

-meGrimlock The for drilling the holes is to use a sharp center punch on the cross hairs of the paper strips then use a sharp small drill bit to drill the hole , go slowly so you have control of the drill . Then go to the correct size bit for each hole . The key is to take you time drilling the holes and filing the sharp edges off . It took me 2 hrs to install both sides by myself once i had the tmplates attached to the sills . Malcolm

Have you ever heard of anyone installing these skirts using 3M doublesided tape instead of the Mazda fasteners? I have a set and I am considering doing it that way (just hate drilling into a good body panel) but I am not sure if there is enough surface area for the tape to provide adhesion. I am also concerned about possible corrosion in the rocker panels down the line from having all the holes allowing road grunge in.
