cant remember if you needed extra brackets to hold them on.
but yeah, the old sxi ones come off and the skirts sit flush against the bottom of the door bit, if ya know what i mean.
anyways, i cant help too much because i got my local bodyshop to do all mines

yo yo yo yo!
just went outside, with a torch, in the dark, freezing my nipples off, and couldnt see a damn thing
cant really tell what they've done to it, but it looks like its been bonded with a couple of brackets at each end for extra support!
hope i get a thanks for this

my combat ones were riveted on along the top of the sill where the door shuts, the pop rivets were then flushed over, aluminium brackets were made to support the skirt all the way along, ever 8 inches or so, and it was bonded on with sikaflex, and then smoothed in once it was all on
