Default Goodbye Ricer Sideskirts...Hello Holes! :p

Ok so I finally did it...I spent the weekend taking off my hideous sideskirts and replacing them with ek sides...thanks Rob!

One main downfall is that the holes that are left from where the screws were holding them on are alot bigger then I thought. Also the bottom of my fenders are bent in from the old sideskirts so I'm going to have to look into getting some body work done! So if anyone has a hookup feel free to let me know!

I am in no way a good photographer so bare with me...haha!!! All comments welcomed!

Before:



After:











Here's the damage:

Thanks guys...I think you're the only people! They needed to come off though because the fiberglass was cracked in certain spots!

The bodyshop did it like 4 years ago...I'm convinced they were idiots! They said it took them 8 hours to get one on so that's why they had to drill them! They didn't even ask us before doing it!
