Default Bodykit

I just recently bought my prelude. The car has a bodykit already on it and the side skirts have a little gap between the bottom of the fenders. People have told me bodykits are hard to make fit......any suggestions?

Go to a bodyshop. Sorry, but that's seriously all you can do. Don't try to fix this yourself.

If the guy doesn't wanna bring it to a body shop to get something simple like a skirt fixed, I doubt he's gonna spend the money to get OEM bumpers + lip kit to have it all painted.

You can get your problem fixed for way less than that at a reputable bodyshop.

no offense but could you not think to take it to a body shop yourself..its pretty much the only thing you can do.

Yeah, but if someone knows how to do it or had a suggestion on how to fix it and could save me some money.....I'd rather fix the mistake and learn, rather than just throw $$$ at my car and not know anything. :D

I am also confused on what your problem is exactly, so i guess zip ties might not work ...

Some pictures might help out.

My first inclination is to say that a trip to a hardware store for some fasteners might fix your problem. If you're looking to do this yourself, but can't visualize what needs to be done to fix it you might need to take it to a body shop.
