I have bought the optional ITR skirts via an American dealership a couple of months ago because the skirts are not sold in Europe.

I put the skirts on today and I saw that the part on the back is not pressed to the car completely. There is about 1.5 cm space between the diagonal part at the back of the skirt and the car. Is this normal for these skirts and if so, how did you solve it? Sticky tape?

I'm talking about these skirts and the diagonal part underneath the R sticker.

 

the skirt is supposed to come with clips, with double sided tape on them. one is the female side and one is the male side and it slides in together to make the rear stay snug with the bumper. something like that. sorry if i couldnt explain it well, but you can always get some 3M double sided tape.

 

if you didn't get any clips or adhesive, use 3M double-sided tape. also, if that's your R, it looks sexy as hell with the polished lip and oem kit.

 

looks good from here

question, how the heck did a dealership have the oem kit...those are so hard to find nowadays

 

They usually come with a rubber piece that goes between the side skirt and the stock sheetmetal - so you don't scratch up your paint. I don't see the rubber on your side skirts... maybe it's just the pic you posted...

Here's an old pic of my kaa with the oem kit:

yea wtf? and if i'm not mistaken its OEM optional not itr optional but whocares haha and that PY itr very clean.. got any full pics of it? i think DC's need the rear valance i see alot of jdm front dc's with the aztec lip and skirts or oem lip and skirts and the rear looks way high compare to the rest of the car but the valance adds such a kick.. so nice!

 

oh yeah, i was gonna say too..where's the rubber sealant? i know i have them on my rears...

The yellow ITR is not mine. I just used the pic to explain what I was talking about. I have a championship white Euro ITR. (www.honda-integra.nl)

I have bought the skirts from a dealership near San Diego. A guy from another Integra forum hooked me up.

On Topic:
I don't see how a rubber can solve this because the gap is about 1,5 cm width. I am almost positive the skirt is fitted correctly because there is only one way, correct?

 

hmmm when i put my sides on they fit perfect i guess it just depends on the set u get

 

You are either missing some clips or one of the clips isn't in all the way. I had the same problem with mine because I broke a couple clips trying to get them on.

If your side skirts didn't come with instructions I have the complete instructions for the entire kit here http://www.pbase.com/jw___systems/oe...n_instructions

Easiest way to install them is to put the clip onto the side skirt first and then just push the skirt into the car.

 

@sys3rror

Thanks! Very usefull...

 

Hey i just looked at your homepage and you have some tasty pics of you and i suppose those are your buddies.......... .

 

Thanks

 

This happened to a friend of mine who had these skirts. He ended up using black silicone to fill the gap. He took his time and it came out looking great.

BTW a painter at a local body shop found me and 2 friends the optional kits. They're out there, j00 just have to find them.

The Yellow one is mine and I didnt use the rubber seal just because it clashed with the PY and didn't look as good.

 

Isn't the skirt damaging the paint without the rubber seal?

No the gap is not even that noticeable.

You should be able to get them ordered from any Acura dealership; I'm not 100% on this but these should be the part #s:

Molding, R.FR - 08P21-ST7-2M001
Molding, L.FR - 08P21-ST7-2M002
Molding, R.RR - 08P21-ST7-2M003
Molding, L.RR - 08P21-ST7-2M004

at least that's whats in the honda parts catalog...no pics though so I'm not sure if that's right

Discontinued.

I got mine from Radley Acura like a year and a half ago. They said they only had a few left. Glad I snagged them up FYI a friend of mine got a set from an Acura dealer in Cali (dont know which one) Paid an arm and a leg, but they had a few sets in stock. This was a few months ago so who knows if they still have them.
