I’m not certain, but I don’t think the SVR side skirts will fit the standard models.

The R skirt will fit the base and S models, but the SVR skirt probably doesn’t. Others have installed the skirts. They should be able to advise you on installation. I personally prefer the sleeker look without skirts.

It’s a total pain to install, but worth it in my opinion. You will have to remove the rocker panels to install properly.

it will not have them. You will need to drill.

Drilling holes is easy. It’s putting them in the right place that’s the challenge.

take a look under your car. You won’t see any holes in the side skirt. You will need to drill and use screws. I tried double sided tape originally, since my car was a lease, and it just wouldn’t hold everything together properly.

Give a good shop enough money and they can pretty much do anything
