Default clean side-skirts

My setup is a 88 hb with 88 CRX fenders(bumper and corners too).

As most of you guys know, the CRX fenders don't go as low as the HB fenders(the part next to the door), as the CRX have that side molding/skirt or whatever it's called that covers the bottom area. Well, how my car is there's just a gap there since I haven't had time to take the fenders to a body shop and have them cut and weld on the HB bottom part.

I wasn't intentionally planning on putting on a side skirt, but after I saw a Honda Access kit for a 88-89 EF on CarolinaHondas.com, it looks like it would work and cover the part up. Actually, looks like how the CRX's are but for a HB. Thing is, I can't afford the whole kit nor do I want the whole kit. Does anyone know if this will work well with CRX fenders? Are there any side-skirts that are like that(stock looking) available?

I don't want to jack his pictures, so here's the thread(refer to 4th pic): http://carolinahondas.com/showthread.php?t=44605

So you would ditch the rest of the kit? The rear bumper would work, but the front wont.

I dont think the sideskirts would fit either.

If I find something cheap, Yea I would probably run the whole kit. I have a spare 88 Civic bumper that I could use it on.

In that case, I'll probably just get the CRX fender modified. How much does work like that cost anyways(2 fenders; pretty much cutting 4 fenders and welding two), with no paint? I wouldn't think it's much, but then again I don't know much about body work.

No idea about the bodywork, i think its very dependent on who you take it to.

If you were to use the civic bumper again, then you would need to use civic fenders. Kinda destroys the point of having them.
