Hey, sorry I didn't reply so soon. The tape sticks really well as long as the spot where you apply the tape is wiped with isopropyl alcohol. The other thing you can do is use a heat gun to as evenly as possible heat the skirts as you apply the tape to help straighten them.

I'm going to try the trick with the 3M tape mentioned above after leaving the sides in the sunlight for a while. I'll bust out the heat gun if more heat is needed.

The second set I picked up is nearly mint. They have 90% of the original clips and I can get about 5% of the rest as new OEM. One of the things I noticed about the sides is they have several extra "pegs" for holes that currently don't exist in my car. These are mostly along the top of the rear piece. Are there extra holes drilled into the body of the TII's for these? I didn't see anything in the parts list for special plugs or anything.
