anyone know where I can find OEM side skirts??

 

I got mine at a dealership for like $80 each, but I got the unpainted ones. Painted is a little more... of course if you don't need perfect brand new sides, there's always ebay, craigslist, scrapyards...

 

They're the same as regular, just painted

 

All Civic 96-00 share the same side skirt.

 

Exactly^^^ but if you're not getting your car painted soon, it might be worth it to buy the painted skirts to match the car. My coupe is black, so I really didn't care to pay the extra $$.

 

Incorrect. I know for a fact 96,97,98 Civic sedans have different ones. Same length but the tabs are different from the coupes. Also, the coupes flare out more

 

Oops. Forgot there are sedan out there too

 

the clips from a sedan worked fine to my hatch!

 

The clip are the same for 2/3/4 doors. The coupe and hatchback share the same side skirt. Sedan is has it own.

Go ahead and cross reference the part numbers -> hondapartsunlimited.com

 

Save yourself the time... they're different.

 

thanks 4 the info peeps

 

As others have mentioned, the '96-'00 Civic coupes and hatches (including the Si) all use sideskirts which are cosmetically the same EXCEPT some are painted (the Si skirts and the optional ones).

Sedans look pretty much the same (I've heard some say they flare out more or less, but haven't seen proof of this yet), but if you were to put coupe/hatch skirts on a sedan you would have a gap on the top of the sideskirts, under the bottom of the rear door, when you open that rear door.

This could also possibly cause clearance issues if you were to put sedan skirts on a coupe/hatch, but I can't be certain.

 

I love you NOFX for all your knowledge of HONDAs... in a not a creepy stalker kind of way.

 

Sedan sideskirts flare out less. As far as coupe/hatch sideskirt on sedan, only 2-3 clips line up. I did notice a gap in the back.

Top is coupe/hatch, bottom is sedan.
