    iS side skirt removal

    I've searched and searched..couldn't find a difinitive answer.

    I'm going to pull some OEM is sideskirts off tomorrow. The guy is letting me pull them before he sells the car (broke timing belt)

    Do they just pull off? Rivets I need to loosen?

    Are they going to leave a bunch of nasty looking holes underneath?

    I was hoping to make it a quick deal so I can pull them and leave before he changes his mind...

    They attach with grommets and clips. The clips you will see when you get underneath. I can't remember off of the top of my head, but I think there is something on them that you push down to remove -- but maybe not. It's easy enough to tell when you look at them.

    And yes, there will be visible holes on his car. Once you get the clips off of the bottom you can just carefully pull them off. The holes will still have the grommets in them. And you will have to drill those holes and get the grommets if you want to mount them properly. Remember they are two pieces each side too.

    How much are you spending on them? Just in case you aren't aware, you can get them brand new with all of the necessary hardware for $300.

          $150 but they're already painted alpine so thats saves some money there...
