Are the SH sideskirts the same as the base except just painted? Or are they different? I want to get color matching side skirts but wondering if I should just paint them or buy SH sideskirts.

 

I believe it's the same just painted

 

The base has NO side skirts. But you can put the SH side skirts on a base they bolt on. It's just a big plastic part.

ditto. when i put on the optional oem kit, I had to remove the old skirts so the new ones could go one.

 

They are not the same. Unless all the ones at the dealer I went to had no skirts on them at all. Or maybe the stock non SH skirts are really small, and the SH ones are bigger, and hange lower. There was definitely a difference other than collor.

 

same skirts... SH model is ust painted, as well as the rear lip.

 

So you guys think it would be cheaper to just paint the stock ones I have now?

 

I painted mine. looked pretty good. Just take your time and put a few good coats on them.

 

i dunno what color is your prelude but i have the optional OEM sides and rear that i will have available for sale soon. they are factory painted "premium white".

i am "stock-izing" my car in few weeks to put it up for sale.

shoot me a pm if interested.

yeah it would be cheaper to just paint them... i guess even cheaper if you painted them yourself, given that your a good painter, otherwise a body shop shouldnt ask for too much to paint them skirts.

or buy the ever so looked for OEM skirts from Tekwon-V

 

hopefully i will get them oem sides and rear.. i already have the front.. i call dibs

 

They are not the same thing! The base has striaght black plastic skirt, while the SH or after-market OEM skirts are painted and have a completly different look to them (the SH/OEM AM have a aero curve to them and are slightly lower then base skirt). See H and A accessories for a breakdown.

 

Man i cant tell if they are different or not. Well if anybody has Milano Red sideskirts let me know.

no u are wrong..it is not that hard to understand, there is the stock black or colored sides and rear valance, then there is an optional OEM lip kit that hangs lower and it painted the color of the car....

I don't know about yours, but mine are different and if you look at the pics you will notice a different design.

 

the picture from the first link is the OPTIONAL OEM sideskirt, NOT the SH side.

the2nd link, i couldnt open.

and the 3rd link's list, which indicates "no color", this is the black piece that comes on the base model.

SH side is same thing as the base one but just body-colored.

 

I guess most of the SH's that I have seen have the after-market OEM skirts. Thanks for the clairification (disregard my last! lol)
