The bottom mounts under the rocker look like you could drill a round hole small enough to almost clear the square end of the grommet then you could use a dremel to square up the holes for a tight fit, maybe use jb weld to hold them up into the new hole after attmepting to Primer the area you drilled with acces only from the outside of the rocker. Look at your front fenders rear lower mounsts and you will see a similar designed grommet for the install to make more sense on squaring up the hole.

For the sides the hardware is a bit more confusing, its easy to see the yellow clips go into the side skirts and it also looks like the white clips recieve the male end of the yellow clips but how do you mount the large flat white piece to the car on the sides of the rockers? I have another zilvia member telling me he put paint on the yellow clips and drilled his car to recieve the male end directly? This to me doesnt sound correct I feel like the correct way to do it is to attach the back flat side of the female white clip to the car again with something like JB weld.

And of ourse it goes without saying the front and rear install where the splashmud guards would go and even with all the factory ahrdware a little 3m tape at the top edge is a good idea.

Can anyone else with first hand experience chime in? Id like to hear how you guys did it. But i have a few problems. I refuse to screw screws directly into my rocker to rust down the road and I refuse to leave any open metal anywhere without primer and paint as that shouldnt be done anyway.

Hey there, did you ever end up finding a good method to drill all these holes for the Kouki skirts? Thank you
