Uhhh, I think you need to.

 

haha, aftermarker things like that REPLACE the stock ones. Yes they have to come out.

 

i don't know. My buddy has a prelude and they don't come out. ARE YOU SURE?!?! because if I take them out then i will have to replace the clips?!?!

 

i don't think they're suppose to, even if they are a little tight it should fit, aftermarket parts (especially the black widow kit since its been duplicated hundreds of times) shouldn't fit perfectly

 

ya, i think only lip kits go over your stock ones like the mugen or OEM.

 

Soooo.....what should I do..some say yes, some say no?

 

i believe its a yes

 

why you asking us? ask the shop that sell you the sideskirt.

as far as i know the stocker SHOULD coming off, why? you see the "vent" for your BW sideskirt? it would be in the way of the stockside skirt

 

no you dont have to remove the stock side skirt, because i have the mugen lip side skirt on my car and they install pretty much like regular body kits

 

Why not email the company you bought them from and ask?

My friend has a 97 Civic hatch with a kit on it. He just took off the Buddy Club side skirts and they were just placed over the OEM ones.

umm thats because you have a lip kit..obviously it goes over your stock ones..seems like you dont know much..i highly doubt that the BW goes over your stock ones since the back and rear are replaced so its only common sense that your stock sideskirts need to be replaced to. I agree with Iam7head.

 

my xenon kit went over all my stock pecies. it may depend on the kit itself. all parts won't always fit perfectly. one of my side shirts is a little tighter fit that the other but it still installs over the exiting side shirt.

 

sorry that im not a body kit expert.....but if the kit hung below the stock sidekisrts, youd have to drill through the stock ones, and then they would hang down uber low.......

 

isnt xenon a lip kit? wings west i think goes over them to because they are lip kits. BW however are not lip kits which i think why u need to replace everything.

 

if the body kit goes on when you take the stock ones off, and it holds good, then leave it, less weight. but if you're lazy and the kit holds right on, then leave it like that, no offence but it's yoo car man. work it the way that akes you happy
