side skirt solutions

[MrRline2010]

Looking to a solution for a problem since after 54838834 i got a reply to get my sides painted. I now run into the issue

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f336/dj_cronic_metal/problems.jpg

as you can see in the picture here there are some clips that are supposed to mount to the side of the car. These were missing when I picked up the sides. Well I have checked everywhere and short of buying another set. I can't get these anywhere. Heres my question anybody have an idea where I might be able to pickup something like this that would work in it's place. Do other side skirts have these clips? Any help would be appreciated. I would rather do the job right than jerry rig it.

The dealership

is it the aero lip kit?

[MrRline2010]

yes it is. Aero skirts for 01-05 models, also I stated I can't get these anywhere as in i've tried 6 dealerships in the us and I can't just order this without ordering an entire new set.

i saw someone selling the hardware for them on another civic forum a few weeks ago. I'll try and see if i could find it again.

please do if you can honest to god it's been the biggest pain in the ass finding these and without a fair amount of junkyards that I am familiar with and the fact that most civic's dont' have these on them doesn't help.

[YuckerDisMe]

i found someone who might be able to get another set. Ill get a hold of him tomorrow and ask him for you.

[MrRline2010]

Thank you!

[YuckerDisMe]

I asked him, he got the last set of used ones. He is going to post a picture of them. Just incase you want to fabricate your own.

[MrRline2010]

so wait he has them like for sale or he just is going to post a pic so I can see what I may be able to fab my own out of? I'd perfer to buy them rather than fab my own.

I know you would rather buy them, but i asked if he could get anymore and he got the last used set. All the other ones come with the kits. He is going to post a pic of it for people who want to fab their own since no site sells just the hardware anymore.

[MrRline2010]

el crappo. Well when he post them ill take a look. Is this one civic forums?

There you go, the pictures should be on post #36

[MrRline2010]

burn found that one already but not fabrication ideas.

[YuckerDisMe]

do you have the clips that hook the kit to the car?

[Rufus]

I have those exact ones.... holding up my sideskirts

....... great but how does that help me short of taking your side skirts and cannibalizing these from you and you not finding out.

[MrRline2010]

do you have the clips that hook the kit to the car?

yes I do have the outer clips that hold to the pinch weld or whatever mentioned on the 7thgen forums.

[YuckerDisMe]

then what hardware do you need?

[Rufus]

You need two pieces

1. A bracket that bolts to the bottom of the sideskirt and has an arm extending out and uses a screw to fasten itself to a small rail along the underside of the car.

2. That "clip" is really just a piece of metal in a u shape with double sided sticky tape on the back.

[MrRline2010]

rufus these were yours :d They already have 1. I just need the u shaped clips with double sided that the sides fit into.

[Rufus]

You could make these pieces easily. Get a sheet of metal, have someone bend it at a sharp angle and put sticky tape on the back.

Want me to make you cry when I tell you what I paid for those? lol

[MrRline2010]

sure what like 50 bucks? Really their not that bad. Rufus do you know anybody who does metal fab?

[Rufus]

I paid $60 for those sideskirts AND the rear lip on my car. Craigslist f00

You don't need to fab something. Go to home depot, buy a strip of metal and put it in a vice. Be resourceful SON!
