Its nothing much, but I'm happy with it

dennis

Looks good Klepto. Nice and clean.

ding069

yes it does, looks like a 98 or 99

gdubb

looks good gettin ready to do the same. did you just by the paint from the dealer?

klepto

No, I had a shop do it, they took off my skirts and kept them for a couple of days while I drove around with no skirts, and i just got them put back on today =( ugh, my car looked super ghetto for those couple of days.

zeeshan282

looks nice, very nice. let us know how it holds up over time!

anyone with a 98 or 99 model, how are yours holding up after all this time? do you have lots of scratches and/or paint chips?

ricardo

I have none THe side skirts don't really take much of a beating... mine scratches and chips are still found elsewhere unfortunately

zeeshan282

yeah, can't do much to protect the rest of the car (especially the front) from paint chip damage and such, but it's cool to know your side-skirts are damage free.

dulux

how much was it to paint the side skirts?

klepto

To paint all the skirts was about $230

Zerostatic

Definitly looks better. That is something I'll be doing to my 97 when I have time and money

RippinRide

Looks really good man. I'd like to do the same to mine but i dont know if i should order new skirts before hand, because mine are pretty banged up. What kind of prep work did they do prior to painting them?

klepto

They had to sand it down thats all i know, he said that that was the hardest part of it all.

SmoothD

If you've used Armor-All on them before......can you still have them painted....or do you have to buy new ones?

Katies99CL

ok..i'm confused.

when i got my CL (used) my sideskirts were already painted, i thought was like a "stock" feature? is it not?

*EDIT* btw the way your CL looks nice w/ them painted...makes it look lower

dennis

The only CL's that came with unpainted side skirts are the 97's. All the other other one's came color matched with the car.

VXCL

the 97 owners get screwed along with not having orange needles and the wood center console with chrome trim around the shifter. and couple other things.
