Default Side skirts and Rear valences

How hard is it to find actual Honda optional side skirts and rear valences?

BNIB ..... start praying hard!

Used .... start looking hard!

They were discontinued long ago, and are very hard pieces to come by. Your best bet is to keep your eyes peeled for someone selling a used set.

Ya I knew they were discontinued, I just didn't know how often they come up for sale used. Honda should start selling them again! LOL!

I will just say this... you'll never find a set for sale if all you don't frequently look for them for sale somewhere. They typically don't come to you.

It took me over a year to get a set. I saw that a lot of people did have replicas for sale, but i wanted the oem ones. I bought them around 6 months ago, and still haven't put them on my car.

this dude I know in the army has this hagard *** green GSR that is all but destroyed. It's his DD. That bastard has authentic sides and rear on it. I'm always trying to get him to sell them to me, but he always just says, nah, I like 'em.

Find me a set too, while you're at it.

If you're selling your car, why don't you sell me the skirts and valences?

I'm not sure how and why but a few people in Aus have recently purchased brand new sets. The going price is $1400 a set AUD. But there brand new.

So yeah not sure if it's possible for you guys to get em.

I have some OEM rear valences, they are the bluish purple color and have the black rubber trim. Make me a reasonable offer.

&lt; An Australian member who ordered brand new skirts/valences from his Honda dealership.

They were Japanese stock too as I had to wait three months to get them.

The valences cost $470 AUD, I am still waiting on the price on the sideskirts but I think they were $800 AUD.

I can take photos of the Honda access box they came in if anybody wants a part number.
