Fitting Side Skirts

[Trooper]

I had a set of skirts on my R33 gts-t and I thought they were stock - they are plastic.

It was not until I pulled them off that i realised they are a bit different to the stock ones in how they attach to the car.

Mine were double sided taped on to the car and screwd at the ends and along the top.

The real stock ones have little fittings that they are meant to slide over onto the side of the car (if anyone knows what I mean).

I dont have the lugs on the side of my car - with the old skirts off you cant tell i ever had any on.

If i buy some genuine stock ones can i just double side tape them on and screw the ends or do I need to screw some fittings into the side of my car and underneath for them to clip on to.

Any idea what it would cost to have these professionally painted and fitted? I have put aside about $200 to buy and $400 to paint and fit - is this reasonable?

Thanks

buy - 170

paint - 150-200

fitting - 100

enough said. with fitting screw the ends in and then provided you dont mide the skirts being permanent, use a silicon adhesive and seal the skirts on. this way they have a good solid finish.

caution tho, make sure they are wanted to be permanent orelse they are a c*#t to get off

On my r33 mspec the side skirts were screewed in the ends and had clips through out the length of the skirts into the car and it had sickaflex (think thats what its called) also holding on the skirts

Thanks guys, I dont think i had stock ones on, here is a photo of them before they cracked.

They are plastic which is why i thought they were stock.

My options now are:

1. Buy stock skirts, respray/fit

2. Repair my skirts (plastic weld and/or a few layers of fibreglass over the cracks), respray, fit

3. Buy Final Konnexion skirts, paint, fit.

Which is the best option?

If i get stock ones i will need to repair the holes that were left under the door for the screws of the skirts that i had on there before.
