1764, Skirts

Has anyone installed side skirts from a Tsi on their Esi?

I picked up a pair (White) for my White Talon and I was wondering how they had put theirs on.

Did you drill holes in the side of the car?

Also, the skirts say 16v DOHC Turbo on them, How do I get my stock tags of my car? Are they stuck on with sticky stuff?

Ill probably end up just filling in the 16v DOHC Turbo part with filler and repainting them.

I dont wanna have people think I have a turbo, cause ti could lead to an embarassing situation.

Thanks }>

Yeah, the body shop I took them to, painted and drilled holes into the side of my car to insert those plactic screws to hold on teh skirts. (just like stock) I think it looks really nice. I love these side skirts more than any of the other DSM stock side skirts.



As you can see, I didn't do anything to "conceal" my turbo insignia. :-)

As far as the pre-existing letters underneath, I just left them there. They certainly don't inhibit anything there and why even mess arond with causing any underneath paint damage? Who knows what that could lead to.

Good luck!

I got all my badges and symbols taken off my car, I only have the Talon logo on the front. I asked my buddy at the body shop to take it off and it was fine.

just do like i originally did, and instead of buying the talon S/Skirts, buy the eclipse ones....they don't say anything.
