Please forgive me for asking this question. I did try a search before posting, but didn't really find too much info. I apologize if its been covered a hundred times...
Can 98 or newer side skirts be used on a 96, or do I need to stick with the 95-97 cars?
My girlfriend recently bought a 96 GL 5-speed. We are so happy with the car, but do want add some SE side skirts and hopefully some SE 7 spoke wheels... I haven't had too much luck finding either items(at prices we can afford) but have run into a lot of skirts for 98 and newer 'tours.
Thanks for any help

I believe the 98+ sideskirts are a direct match. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Its great! www.webcentrix.org/contour_se.html "The whole purpose of a car is not to go fast it's to get from point A to B, and if you can afford it, to get from point A to B with some sense of style." As seen on the Ricecop.com boards

How exactly do you get the sideskirts off the car beacuse I saw one in the junkyard but I didn't have time to look at how you remove the side skirts? If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it.
thanks,

about 7? phillips head secured plastic mounting inserts vertical behind the skirt. and one plastic friction tab on each end.
so bring a phillips screw driver, and a panel puller, if you don't have a panel puller a regular screw driver and/or some needle nose will do the job. you'll prolly have to buy new tabs for the end and a few of the other types.
