or dont bother drilling the side hole, just use a couple of self tapping screws underneath and round the rear wheel well.

You could also just use 3M automotive tape - they *probably* wont come off - that tape holds pretty good!

but i heard some of these people say these side skirts can take a beating. and they can and might fall off during strong rains.

yeah i heard similar stories too, but honestly, I ran those oem sides for almost a year and didnt get so much as a stone chip on them. I now have airwalkers sides, and they are secured by a couple of screws in the fender wells and 3M tape to the body. I have had NO issues with them coming loose.

I also have the side pieces of my mugen 3 piece wing attached using the 3M auto tape as there was no way I was going to drill my fenders - think of the forces exerted on that when driving, and hasnt moved at all.

Of course, this is just *my* personal experiences, but i think you will be fine.
