OMG!!!!!!!Just talked to a guy from parts at a dealership about side skirts and he says, that you need different rocker panels for side skirts because the bolts that hold the clips that hold the skirt, screw into them. AND that there are even different shaped rocker panels for skirts?????? Stop the insanity, i just want sideskirts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!

some people have them and they fit ok at best. not as good as 97-99. your mistake was asking the dealership. they are full of shit! they told me the throttle body was different from 98 to 99...like i said full of shit.

Okay... has the guy at the dealership ever heard of a drill? You drill a pilot hole and use a self tapping screw... talk about trying to sell parts you don't need.

Okay, i have a guy who will sell 96 gs-t skirts and caps for 210, shipped. is that good for skirts that fit "okay at best"?Just how "okay", is okay at best? would they need work in terms of fit, or do they just not line up clean?

thanks guys

I'm sayin all that "should" fit.

For me, 95-96 Talon turbo side skirts/cladding fit on my 98 Talon. Perfectly.

That whole weird world of eclipses may be different though. ;-)

do you just like the 96 skirts better? i dont. 210 is a bit steep for 5 year old skirts. id wait to find some 97-99 cause you know they will fit good and they look much better. + they dont have that grey shit on the bottom of them

well only the turbos had the grey bottom but if his car is a different color he will have them painted over anyway. just get some aftermarket skirts, they look the best anyway
