Default Drainage or screw holes?

The small holes here... I can't make my mind up:



Are these holes for drainage for for the RSI sills to be screwed on?

Thought it would be best to ask before I get the drill out...

I don't know what the big semi circle bit is for either, so if anyone knows what that's for whilst I'm here.... lol

My guess is that the big notch is to go around the stock drainage holes in the rockers...hold them up against the car and see if they line up with the holes/rubber stoppers that should be in there. If that is the case, then I would think the small holes are for screws to hold the RSI sill/rockers to the bottom of the car.

This is only a guess, I've never seen them installed - gut if the notches line up with the holes in the body, then that would be my best guess.

That's my guess too

Surely someone on here has an RSI or RSI kit to confirm or deny this?

You look emo in the reflection. Are you in a band?

Everyone else has just glued theirs on, so I think I'm going to do that.

Lol no I'm not an emo nor in a band! I am a girl though...

Hahahaa I never saw that coming...

You can use black urethane to put your kit on. It's pretty strong stuff but you'll never have your kit fall off either.
