How do they fit? Clip to the OEM holes/fixings etc or are you just expected to bodge them on somehow?

Umm... do you know how the originals get installed on a car that didn't come with?

From what I remember you have to drill holes in pre-determined places and fit the rawl-screw type thingies.

"Usually screws in wheels wells, and double sided tape under the door"
From the vendor...
Doesn't sound like it has the factory mount point on them.

They don't see like all that...

The factory mount point is nothing more than custom drilling anyways... you'd just need more info about how strong the mount points on the reps are.

is there a picture with them on the car? if not its gonna be hard to determine if its worth to shell out 325 bucks for those, there prolly even made in china, which if they are, are definitely not worth 325 bucks, think of other goodies you can get for that money.

I used to work with a Corvette company that made fiberglass. You don't have to go to China to get fiberglass hand laid and made cheaply. One of my rockers is pretty bady rusted - trying to deciede how to handle.
