ok so i have a 96' zenki se that i'm doing a kouki conversion to and i am wondering if anyone has a template to locate the clip holes down the side of the rocker panels. or does everyone just use 3m double sided sticky tape?

Im about to put my skirts on as well. Im planning on using rivets with washers so they don't pull through the plastic. Rivets hold the feed wide body rear fenders on my FD so they will work perfect to secure side skirts.

i'm talking about the oem factory side skirts. they have a ton of clip mounting points and was wondering if anyone has ever used them or just uses the double sticky tape?

Im also talking about the oem skirts. I know they have a ton of clip mounting points. If you want your skirts to fall off and flap around use double sided tape. I removed all of the clips from the skirts and bought washers and rivets. The zenkie does not have the holes for the clips like the kouki any ways. I have the factory hole in my front fender to line up the skirts making sure they are in the right place. Then Im going to drill a rivet size hole where the tabs would be on a real kouki. I will then use a washer since the tab holes are square and rivets are round, making sure the rivet does not pull through. The skirts will be solid just like a real kouki. If you use double sided tape be prepared for them to flap around and fall off in a month. Good luck

I just finished putting them on. It actually worked better than I had thought. I used the factory clips on the front fenders because those are kouki obviously. I post pics tomorrow.

Here are my results. It took longer than I thought to upload the pics. Excuse the multi color car. I just bought it.
