anyone do a Body kit Install??

Kiljosh · **anyone do a Body kit Install??**

I'm trying to eliminate some of the cost of having my kit fitted AND painted by my shop. I'm trying to figure out how to get the side skirts off.

I unscrewed but the front and the rear wheel well screws. Then I popped out all the little plastic crews along the bottom. But now heres my problem.

The only thing holding my skirts on right now are these little slider type plastic pieces on the INSIDE of the skirt. I actually have to get under the car and pull the skirt down, then look up into it. There's ALOT of them, like 30 to a side or so. I have no idea how to get these off. Can anyone hepl??

I took my sideskirt off once.....ended up getting pissed at it and pulling the hell out of it till it finally came off...it doesn't fit right anymore so I wouldn't recommend doing that lol. I really dunno

Cool, 2 minds are better than one haha.

Oh, and it's like 0 degrees here so my hands were COLLD when I was doing it. I don't know how hard I was pulling but it looks like they kind of just slip into a notch. I drew a pic if it makes sense to anyone haha. Oh and I dont think spinning them does anything, juct clicks lol.

When you loook at it imagine laying on your back, feet out the side of the car, pulling the skirt down, and looking up into it.

check if the pop out just like clips or move the side skirt sideways and see if it get out of that groove

The artwork is paints fault

I'm actually a really good artist, I took 1st in my area highschool art show. I drew a Beamer M3, Nissan Skyline R34, 93 GT, and an Ac Integra all drag racing putting up flames.

God I used to be a ricer lol.

And what do you mean move the skirt sideways, it doesn't move up and own, it's secured too well, left and right it doesnt move at all.

Last time I was under there I was putting my neons on, I think they are all body clips. Either you can buy a body clip remover, use a flathead screwdriver (the hard way), or use a pair of pliers and pull like hell. Good chance you'll have to replace them all.

Body clips, are they nthe round plastic screws or the plastic box thingies? And where can I get a body clip remover?
