33555, side skirts...... Posted by IEATRICE, Nov-03-02 04:29 AM
I have a 95 esi. Do the side skirts from GSTs fit my car or from GSs. Because i might repaint my car and i was wondering which skirts are compatible....i like the look of the stock skirts. If so, what years if not all? TIA

I believe all the side skirts will work. There all the same body from 95 - 99 so they should all work.

It wasnt hard at all. I got them from a guy on dsmtrader.com who posted a for sale ad.
I have no clue if they replace stock ones perfect becasuse I didnt have any side skirts at all.
The skirts fit up perfect, I mean perfect, it was just a matter of getting them to hold on. The problem was they had small things in them that were made to be pushed into a hole on the body, assuming the body had skirts before. I didnt have these holes because my body didnt have skirts. So I cut off these bump things. The front part of the skirt had a bolt/screw hole that lined up perfect with the screws on the body so that went on perfect, then I used to JB weld unneath to make the piece leave no gaps with the car. The rear piece however didnt have any screw/bolt holes that worked perfect with the body. The skirt had holes on it on the bottom, so I just lined it up to car and drilled holes into the underside of the car. Then used jbweld to make the whole skirt fit flush with the body with no gaps. Process didnt take long at all. Hours to sand, prime and paint of course, but putting them on took only a half hour, then a few hours to let the jbweld dry.
Id imagine if you have stock skirts then it would be much easier since the little bump things would fit perfect.

I dont have stock skirts but this sounds do-able. I'm gonna search around for the skirts and hopefully ill just sand prime and paint myself. How much did you pay for yours so i have an idea? thanks BTW
