18479, Question about stock skirts, pricing used....
Posted by XtremeRS, Mar-29-02 08:44 AM
Well looks like i may have some luck after all. When i was waiting at Belle tire today, a guy comes up to me and asks if i want to buy his used side skirts, without the door caps. I of course said yes. Now what do you guys think is a good price for them for the 4 pieces, not including the door caps, he's keepin those. They are white, so i'm gonna get some paint and do it my self. Also, they are off of a 95 eclipse, so any fitment probs since i have a 98? I'm thinkin around 150 bucks, he says 175. What do you guys think? Any help is appreciated..Also, will it look bad without the door caps on? I can get those at the dealer if i have to. TIA

i wouldn't get them. 95 skirts don't look right with 98 front and rear bumpers. I say either holdout till you find some 97-99 skirts or buy some aftermarket ones like blitz type 2's

I'm sure i know what the 97+ skirts look like, but what is the big difference in the 95's? anyone got a pic of the 95's? I guess i never knew there was a big difference in the physical look between the years of them. TIA

EDIT: Didnt realize they were 95, if so divide my prices below in half :)

It looks tight without caps. More aftermarkety :)

Anyway if they are your color than $200, if not try $150. $175 is a tad high but its your call.

The 95/96 skirts curve up in the center. The 97+ skirts are straight across on the bottom.

Is it just me, or do those look very similar if not identical? I just can't see the big difference between the two. Maybe i'm just blind :)
Evulflea-thanks for the pics...

you can tell a difference when the door caps are on. look at a 95-96 gs or up, then look at a 97-99 gs or up. you will be able to tell. check ebay motors, theres plenty

I have some side shirts I took off of my 98 GS in white that I would sell, they have some of the plastic pegs broke off but other wise in perfect condition. There are 6 pieces to it. I would take $100 plus what ever shipping cost. They have been just sitting in the garage for about 4 months. luzahan@yahoo.com

haha..i know man, i have just been looking for skirts everywhere, and as soon as someone is selling, i'm always a second too late :( So whats the deal with this guy selling his red skirts? I don't care about painting, i'm gonna do that myself at my shop, and i can get the paint for around 50-65 bucks. I guess i'll shoot him an email..thanks..

Hey you have the 95 skirts on in your sig pic right? Do you have the door caps on too? I cant tell, but the 95 skirts look pretty damn good to me, so i dont know. Although if i can get red 97+ skirts with all pieces, then i def would go with that to save the hassle of painting..

i dont have door caps on. but that is exactly what i am saying. we can each get our own color and do without the hassle of painting. :-)
