These side skirts really wrap up the uniformity body of the car. Without these side skirts, the sides of the body appear extra high. And the best part is I haven't found these side skirts to rub on the ground, even on aggressive turns. These parts are to be glued on. My preference is E6000 glue for this type of application. Tip: rather than gluing the entire gutter where it connects with the body, only a dab of glue at each end of the gutter is needed to hold this piece in place, in case you ever want to try to remove/replace the part later. If this will go on a shelf queen, glue may not be needed at all.

Using needle nose pliers can pluck those stray strands off the main part. You can also sand down the parts to make them smooth, but be aware that it may lighten or dull the sanded area as compared to the rest of the part if you don't plan on painting them (I didn't paint any of the black parts and kept them bare). If a bolt needs to get through a stubborn hole, a hole reamer or even a simple hex driver may be all that's needed to make the hole larger for the bolt. Some of the large flat surfaces with speckled/rough texture may have residual hot bed adhesion glue residue still on them. If you want to remove that slightly sticky surface, simply clean it with warm water and a micro dot of dish soap (and a soft green Brillo pad can be used to help get the residue off faster). Attention: Please be advised that the HCT aero parts (splitter, wing, diffuser, side skirts) are more for aesthetics than that of actual performance gains. While they might introduce some small amount of aerodynamic gains, it's unlikely that it would be of significant measure in a race situation. Also be cautious that because these aero parts are somewhat extrusive from the car's body, that it introduces added risk of breakage if it collides with another object or if the car flips over. Like with any RC car, please drive carefully! Full HCT Side Skirts installation instructions can be found here.
