Ill be doing this on my day off (monday) ill let you guys know what the outcome is, good and bad LOL.

Does anybody know what part number the clips are for the 97 sideskirts? I just want the push in clips that go into the old moulding holes.

And to people who took off their old mouldings..did you guys have trouble taking off the 2 front ones near the fender? I had to yank them off and grind the metal clip off.


C2ispy: what do you mean shave them off?

I think nobody knows the part number for that. DX3 spent $150 for clips that don't fit. Best would be bring your clip to the dealer and let them match it.

As for the moulding attached to the front fender, there's one nut that holds the molding. I guess you have to remove the splash guard to unscrew the nut without damaging the fender.

LOL welp its too late for that! Now i know theres nut there atleast

150 for clips that dont fit is rediculous, he could have returned them no?

I guess i can bring in one of my old side mouldings to the dealer to see if they can match the size that goes into the hole. Its pretty sad when they look up the parts on their computer and still cant find what you need
