Default Kenstyle body kit mounting help

Does anybody have pictures or any instructions on how to mount a Kenstyle bod kit (fiberglass not original) ? Front and rear seem to fit good with minor trimming, but clueless on how to do the side skirts. No mounting tabs or places to attach to body. Guess this is why body shops charge so much!!

I got the real Kenstyle kit and will scan the instructions when i get home. give me about an hour. FYI though the instructions are in japanese. hopefully that helps..

*edit* crap! NOW i'm leaving work.. so it will be a little longer than an hour as initially stated.. sorry.. I'm sure you know how it is..

you can use back strapping which are easily bendable. Now you could go to home depot and buy an L bracket and that would work.
