In addition to this both plastic side skirts on the car are warped and beginning to curl away from the car. I was going to have the body shop remove them. My question....I am assuming the body is painted underneath them, and the body is the same as a non SE model, is this correct? Has anybody else done this? If so how does it look? Thanks in advance! Chuck So. Cal

Makes it look a little raised. I wish my car came with them. When I have the money I'm gonna buy a set. -Rob White 95 GL ATX 56K Miles on it.

Won't you have ugly holes where the rivets once were, or is the shop going to fix them? When we added skirts to my car we had to drill holes and secure the metal brackets with rivets.

Have some come loose/broke? Don't tell me you have a set of those 13" hunnet spokes with a wicked offset causing your skirts to get chewed up when you make a turn!

Well IMHO. I think down at the bottom of the doors where the skirts go, when you dont have the skirts the curves of the car that everyone in the bodykit threads seem to complain about and love, kind of work against the car. -Rob White 95 GL ATX 56K Miles on it.
