Side skirts are simple bolt on. No cutting or drilling. Easy

i did it on my roomates car and it goes on the same way the stock ones go on. No extra hardware to my recollection, maybe there was a screw or two on either side by the fenderwell, but i don't htink so.. But regardles.. it was an easy install.. its the easiest piece to put on of the oem kit. on drillin no nothing required..

EDIT: Damn you dennis. haha. beat me to it

Once you remove the screws in the wheel wells, slide the existing sill forward before pulling it out and away from the car. Remove the square white pegs that run the length of the old sill and install in the new one. Push the new sill into the car and backward to seat it. Install screws and repeat on other side....

You might want to start your own thread on this; I've read here that many peeps with CW caR's removed that seal before they installed the rear pieces (visually stood out too much), and possibly a few still have them laying around!?

is there any reason to keep that seal on or remove it? it might look silly on a white sideskirt being put onto a white car..... but if it serves some function i'll leave it on

i took the black seal/strips off mine, didn't like the look of it at all...

also, when installing the skirts, you need to re-use the hardware/pegs from the oem sides. BUT you have to turn them around to mount the kit. I'll see if i have the orignal instructions lying around at home still.

Hey tie_par !!! If you still have the seal/strips I'll be VERY happy to buy them from you !!! Please send me an IM !!! My case was that my body kit came in red and I had it painted black to install on my ITR. The jerkoff at the shop ruined one of the strips when he pulled it to paint the skirt. My car is black so the strips don't even show and the strip helps keep the dirt out from underneath the skirt.
