I don't understand what you're saying, but I'd like to help. Take pics of it not fitting properly.

s***ty / No Brand side skirts usually have to be professionally installed as they may require modification to fit properly. Do it wrong and you'll end up with a REALLY bad looking kit man.

Most likely you're going to need to drill some holes into your car to get those on, use a bit of strong double sided tape (3M makes some god stuff) and you should be okay. But in your case where it doesn't line up nice, I'd go talk to a body man first.

To Flame or not to flame??

Im a nice guy

Mount them using the ends. i.e The Fat parts which go into the wheel wells.Not all skirts go under the door jam, some you just mount into the wheel wells. Like these seem to be.

So do that, you might have to drill holes into them, but it isnt unheard of.

Good luck.

drill holes at each end. use screw or zipties to hold them there. and double sided tape.

Honestly, see a body shop. If you cant get past the sideskirts, then you shouldnt be doing your own body work. Attach the ends in the wheel wells and put some 3m double sided tape on the edge of the top side.

3M double sided tape should work just fine. Use plenty of them and make sure to heat up with lighter or torch.
