not sure about the side skirt but i know my front lip didn't come with any screws but the guy at the body shop recommended me to bolt it on, so he screwed my lip on. don't get me wrong it look good with the double side tape but when it got bolted on it looked like it REALLY was apart of the car and not added on.

No, you will need screws. The double sided tape will not be enough. BAsically they will be screwed in the same place where your OEM mudflap thingy is. I have 2 screws on both the front and back and have double sided tape on the sides securing it Now Go, Fight, Win!

Oh and there's also a small screw that goes in the door jamb as well. I color matched that to blend it into the jamb..

ok thanks for clearing that up darryl, another question, the urethane is a slightly curving on one end of the side skirt, will this be fixed once its installed?

Yes, you can bend the s*** out of that urethane, and it will come back to its original form.

if the sideskirt is already painted, better hope the shop used the correct amount of flex agent in the primer and paint or it will break and flake off..
