just dont use screws to f*ck up your car...
also make sure all the seems are aligned and no fixtures are in sight.

easiest way is to use the black window sealer. sticks like hell....
just dont overdo it, or just go to a bodyshop and ask for pointers.
maybe they can help you after workhours?

Mounting will depend on how well it fits. If it fits well, sheet metal screws can suffice for the side skirts. Front and rear bumpers can be drilled to accept the factory mounting (flat curved metal pieces with threaded studs) hardware and sheetmetal screws in the fenders. If it fits like ****, you need fiberglass and appropriate tools to do the job.

I got mine from ebay for 320.00 shipped......It was a ***** monster. It tought me a lot though about fiberglass work.
