Except for the screw holes in the insides of the front and rear fender wells we didnt drill any more holes in the body. The tape takes care of it from wheel well to wheel well.

Remember that where you live is called "the Rust Belt" for a reason so I would resist the temptation to drill any more holes than absolutely necessary!

Good luck and remember... "Pictures or you aren't wearing a skirt!"

Pctures of the side skirts or installed on the car? Unfortunately it's going to be a while before they're installed. Oh yeah, and I'm just inside the rust belt but this car should never see salt/snow again. It came from VA so it's in relatively good shape to start.

I'm not necessarily considering adding more holes to the car. I was just curious if the TII's in fact had them. I'll more than likely just remove those clips (they're NLA from Mazda BTW) and rely on double-sided tape and the screws from the bottom to hold them up.

BTW, I have no need for the first set so if you know anyone looking for a set of TII side skirts that need some work I'll be glad to let them go for cheap.

When I did my research on putting Tii skirts on a NA I found that the Tiis did have holes for the skirt clips along the sill. We just pulled the clips off the skirts. I don't recall if we had to grind the clip mounting points down though. It's been a while.
