The lip depth changes a lot so most of the brackets are sized specifically for a certain location. They slide onto the lip near where the plastic lip is mounted to the car to reduce vibrations and sag. I'll need to modify the brackets for a set screw since I've already had FAIL on the front skirts sliding in unison into the well after catching on the tire. There isn't any room to have a bolt and nut clamp setup.
