u should use the clips but this means drilling & aligning them properly, if i was u i would u something like gripfill or no nails, make sure its not watersolable though or they will fall off in the wet.

ive managed to fit the rear sections easily, lining them up with the arch and underbody,going to screw the clips on tonite and then line up the front sections im thinking, the tricky bit is they use 2 levels of clips, whereas novas didnt really, and I dunno if the skirts are to sit flush with the door bottoms or not, so you cannot see the lower sill in between skirt n door now

mine are boneded on and the rear bits riveted to the car nice snug fit with no gaps.

Lee mitchell rivitted his old skirts on and from what he told me they were a bitch to line up and they did not sit too flush with the car as most GSi's have a slight gap along the skirt. hope this helps
