The angle aluminum is 2" x 2" x 1/8". I bought it a long time ago from onlinemetals.com for another project and I simply cut my scraps up into 1"
wide strips and drilled a 3/8" hole in the end. I used the mounting hardware from the original side skirts to mount the angle to the car so that I would not have to drill any holes into the car. The mounting hardware consists of plastic anchors that snap into holes in the car which allow for a screw to be screwed into them. similar to dry wall anchors.
