Re: where can i find side skirt clips

have you tried any local autoparts stores to see if they have anything that would work?

Re: where can i find side skirt clips

nothing that is a direct replacement, nor can i find any on ebay, i was thinking that maybe somebody on here might know i can purchase them online

I think most people that get them used just stick some 3M double sided tape on, and then put a few screws in the ends where it wraps into the fenderwells. That's how I plan on doing mine once I get it painted. My rear valance ATM is held on that way, and I've had no problems.

Re: where can i find side skirt clips

oh yea? is that 3m tape that strong to hold it up that well without it sagging at all?

Re: where can i find side skirt clips

dont have a picture, but the best way to explain it is that its like, at least on the side skirt part, they are little flaps of metal that seem to be permanently mounted on the car. the side skirts are the hardest thing because they're the heaviest. I went to autozone to ask about 3m tape and they didn't recommend it. the front skirts and rear skirt won't be as hard to mount because they have those rivet type plastic screws that push into a hole and don't pull out. All i'd have to do is drill holes for them. the side skirts are going to be a b1tch.

Re: where can i find side skirt clips

please do not use 3M 2 sided tape...
I used to have a stratus with a body kit, I too used the 3m, had the kit pro installed, they used the 3m, and rivited the kit to the car. after a while the kit started to peel from the tape from weather. guess from the hot and cold weather changes, ice getting in between it, just makes the glue go bad. I would just buy the ones from the dealler. if your going to do it, do it right. that way you wont have any headaches later on down the road. But thats my .02 ...
