Greetings... new to this site. Have a stock 98 and want to put some side skirts on as the bare frame looks really bad.
Guys... plese help a rookie with some info... do skirts fit stock 98 with ease ? What is the average pre shipping cost for used skirts in good shape ?
Secondly... Car is a 5 spd man. 4 banger... any tips on improving performance and mileage ? Not trying to make a race car obviously as it is the 4cyl. but would like to improve as it is very sluggish going up hill. Have to really wind it up.

Welcome to the boards.
The skirts will bolt up fine.
As for performance I know what you mean I have a Zetec also, the CTA intake, with the Edelbrock header, high flow cat and 2.5inch exhaust did make the car alto more fun to drive and it has a nice sound to it.

I'm in the Okanagan Valley of BC... nice area but it is snowing like a mother..f...tonight. Thanks for the info. This might be a stupid question but the skirt alone would look funny without the front fender "skirt" as well would it not ? Or is that part of the skirt package when you buy it...? Appreciate the info... signed, Clue-less in Summerland.

BC is a beautiful place.
The side skirts would look kind of weird with out the rest of the bodykit but as we all know modifying takes time and most of all money. Your best bet would to start searching the classifieds I know there is someone selling the Kaotic kit(complete) for $500 US.
