i am trying to take off the side bodykit, it is an oem kit. And i took off all screws and bolts but it seems like it is still stuck or attached somewhere i looked everywhere but i can find whats holding it on.

is there a diy where to install the oem kit?

 

IIRC, they need to be pulled towards the front of the car and then pulled out towards you. They are held in with plastic tabs. Just pull, it pops out. It feels like you're going to snap the things in half, but everything should be ok. I used a 2x2 jammed up between the back of the skirt and rear tire to get some leverage.. that helped abit.. but ultimately I just pulled straight out towards me fairly hard. I only broke 1 clip, wasn't a big deal.

(This was to remove the stock side sills in order to install the side skirts of the "OEM body kit")

 

yea, i had the same problem as you when i was taking mine off. clips/screws were all removed and i just couldn't budge it...I just had my buff cousin yank it forward and it worked --_--. try using a rubber mallet and a 2x4 wedged in the back like jay said.

 

shake that muffuker back and forth, then push it forward towards the front of the car, should come loose. when you re-attach, take the plastic tabs out of the car, attack it to the sideskirt and just push it in. i tried to match the sideskirt tabs with the tabs still on the car and it was impossible

 

so you push the skirt towards the front bumper then pull it out towards yourbody?

 

does anyone have pics of the tabs up close so i can get a better idea how to get it off

 

Since the DIY section for lip install doesnt work anymore. I have posted the install instructions I downloaded awhile ago for you to use.





But like the guys said, push forward and pull out. Seems like you are breaking it, but should come out with a bit of force. I broke maybe two tabs

 

When I took mine off I used the method like jay above. It takes some power to get it off but eventually the tabs will release and the skirts will release from the car.

 

Just out of curiosity, for WW kit, does the side skirts go on top of existing OEM sides or do they need to be taken off like OEM kit? I have a seller who wants to sell his unpainted WW kit for like $350 which sounds like a good deal, but with prep and paint, the cost can add up.

 

does any body have instructions on how to take off the front and rear too?
some guy a few blocks down from me has a nbp with an oem kit and doesn't care for his car at all so i thought i might take it...

 

^^^sounds like a midnight autoparts job:thief:

 

so this was a joke but i found a local guy who is interested in selling his lip kit off his car and its the same color YAY. So now i actually need to know how to take off the entire lip kit for him since he doesn't know how to.

anybody have a guide or manual?

 

no sir...u have to take the OEM off and the sideskirts will need to be screwd inside the front fender and under the driver/passenger door and then if the brackets didnt come for the rear part of the skirts u need to make one...ur also goin to need 3M tape to hold them up..

 

I do, what is your e-mail addy?

 

thanks so much.
will this guide help me remove the lip kit from his car and use the stock parts off my car to make his car look like new again?

 

It's a pretty simple DIY, so just look over the instructions a few times and you'll be able to figure out how to disassemble the kit. The hardest part to remove is the side skirt, for which the steps are already in this thread.
