I guess I'm curious how the OEM sideskirts are held to cars? Some sort of plastic snap would probably work great, but I haven't found any good ones readily avaliable.

I like your design because it does look like a "fast disconnect". The guide pins are a great idea. The wing nuts make me think that they will shake off from vibration. Maybe cotter pins or some functional equivalent instead? I think it could be "more flush" to the bottom of the car :
