S13 oem aero sideskirt help!!!!

[eli-s13]

So I just got my silvia oem aero and everything fit like a glove. I did have a question about securing the sideskirts, hoping someone on here can help me out. So here is where I'm confused the front has holes that line up with hole on the inside of the fender and it is able to be secured there. But on the rear the is holes in the sideskirt but there is nothing behind where these holes are.
Front sideskirt mounts:

anyone?? was thinking just to put double sided tape in the back.

you never seen how oem side skirts are secured in from the factory especially japanese cars?

ever taken fender liners out before?

[SaNTi]

Drill two holes in the rear... It's not hard.

drill the holes and seal the metal with any kind of paint. or por. or anything like that. or it will rust and you will feel like an idiot.

Oh ok now im starting to get it so the 2 holes in the back would have to attached to the fender liner, rite? Idk what i was thinking i thought there might have been some kind of bracket or something like that for the aero.

go to the junk yards and take a look at some cars that have oem side skirts or even ones with lips and shit and you get the idea

is a simple tab that complex you cant make one?

Since when do the rear fenders on 240s have a liner? Wtf -_-

[240zach]

the reason there is holes in the front is because of the mud flaps. and there was never any factory side skirt for the s13s in the us that i know of...which is why there isn't any holes pre-drilled for the back

just do what SaNTi said

no one said there was a liner in the rears, it was a gesture of similarity of fasteners

[sr23det]

what i was refering to is things like this as a start

[eli-s13]

Ok i guess i did a bad job explaining what i was confused about. I didn't need to know what to secure the skirts with. Its just that in the rear there are 2 pre drilled holes in the skirts that line up with nothing. [IMG][/IMG]
I hope this shows better what i went. the red line shows where the metal ends. So where these two holes are there is nothing but space behind it. so yes i could drill new holes over more but i just thought that was wierd that the pre drilled ones wouldnt match up to something to secure it to. but either way its finished now turned out good

On OEM Sideskirts, there are supposed to be tabs like this attached from the inside:



It sandwiches/clips onto the chassis itself and screws on to the left of it (which is why the holes on the rear section of OEM sideskirts is off to the side). It is only meant to hold the sideskirt in place. You still need to run a strip of double sided tape along the lower rocker panel to keep it firmly in place.

Most people don't include these and do what has been mentioned above. You can drill new holes and bolt them up that way, but if you're picky like I am, you'll either source the metal tabs or make your own.

Hope that helps.

Thanks man really appriciate it. I knews there had to be something it attached to

those oem tabs look flimsy since it just clips on. i would somehow try to secure that oem clip onto the metal (maybe drill hole/rivet on the end that clips to the body).
