Hey whats up guys and gals, I need some help. I know this question has been posted up on this forum for many times but I am going to be the millionth one to ask it. I would like to have the matching body kits that the 98 and 99 cl models have. I have a 97 3.0 and I hate the black rubber molding.
I would like to have the stock 98 and 99 cl body kits that they have, but if i can't i want something similiar to. any suggestions or websites. Thanks!!!

 

can u clarify what u said...we dont have body kits...hehe im confused...are u talking about the sides where it is black ? u can just paint over them...but the paint might not hold on very well, it all depends

 

My bad, I think there call side skirts. I went to a paint shop and the the guy told me that he would paint the skirts for 175.00 but that there is no gurantee that the paint would not peel off or get chipped easy. Here pics http://photos.getauto.com/photos/250WL003483.jpg

 

thats just a chance you have to take if ur willing to put the money for it

 

well are the 97s side skirts the same as 98-99s??? we have lil flairs(check my pics) if you have those.. just paint them.. if not.. check through dealership for $$$ or a local junkyard might have them off a wreck... goo dluck.. let me know

 

I'm pretty sure they are the same. Correct me if I'm wrong but do the '97 skirts have a little bit of a texture to them? If they do, then it should be sanded smooth before it is painted. Then the paint shouldn't peel off. Other than that I'm pretty sure they are identical to the 98-99 skirts.

i painted mine. cost me like $80 for all the paint and prep stuff. sand them down. put adhesive promoter on. used bulldog adhesive promote, flex and tie coat. it makes paint stick to almost anything. then paint them. then clear coat. let them dry for a week and put em back on. mine are holding up just fine so far. almost a month. and theres other ppl who say they painted theirs in 97 and its on just fine.
