↑↑ A couple of wise guy's. Did you ever think of getting an act together? Yakkov Smirnoff is looking for some talent in Branson.
Nope, it's a 99 320, ain't got no skirts. i'm trying to avoid drilling holes in the side and quite frankly the RS skirts are hollow, so I don't think the oem fastener kit would work anyhoo. soooooo?

Looks like I gotta go with the ol' pioneering spirit on this one. Now where is my Liquid Nails and Bondo?

No it's not that easy as just replacing the old with the new. When i did my clk430 sideskirts it was that simple because my car came with the amg sideskirts. The 98-99 models have some weird black rubber at the bottom and they don't have any kind of side skirts at all. My buddy has a 98 320 and there is no way to install the rs sideskirts without drilling. You have to take off all the rubber strips that are between the door and the bottom black rubber (98-99 side skirt) you have. They have plastic pins so they easily pull out. Then place your side skirt on top and drill 3-4 screws on top where the side door is and 1-2 at the end by the rear wheel and 1 or 2 in the front where the front wheel is. Email me if you have any questions, it was a pain for my buddy and i because we had to shave the side skirts where the door sills are because they came out to much and didn't look right but eventually we go it to work. Don't worry about the screws, just put some touch up paint on them and you won't notice them as much. Good Luck

Thanks Gateway. Yeah, I realized the only way is to drill through. I'll be doing it tomorrow and definately take you up on your offer if I need help.
