lol it's to test people's motivation to customize their cars
cleannnn!!! thanks for the pics, it turned out really well!
haha yeah, i got some cd5 skirts in my garage, waiting to be installed, but imma wait a bit before i do it and make my game plan and figure out how to do it cleanly and now have self-tapping screws all over the place lol
@91hondaaccordlx: really only $5 for all 3 pieces!? that's AWESOME! i got nickel and dimed for each piece haha i think $6 for each piece. bleh.
yeah, the install is pretty easy when you know what you're doing and how you're gonna go about doing it. it took me a while cuz i was trying to figure it out as i was going and making sure my camera was charged enough to take pics haha (5minute battery life for the losee), but with all the information now available, it should take around an hour or so.
to me, cd5 side skirts have more styling then the cb7 side skirts. the cb7 ones appear slimmer, and more sleek and streamline. the cd5 skirts IMO are a bit thicker (i haven't compared side-by-side yet, but just by looking at it it doesn't have that slimness that i associate with te cb7 skirts) and more aggressive, ending with this fin towards the back that looks like the ones on civics (i don't know which year) so it gives it a little more character.

lonski has cd5 side skirts on, painted, and they look really nice. the paint really brings out the fin and accents the body lines and adds to the cb7's appearance, making it appear fuller. However, they are shorter by about half an inch than the cb7 skirts, so you'll need mudflaps to cover up the uncovered length. so, when you do decide to install the skirts, line up the skirt flush with the rear wheel well, so that the shortness of the skirt can be accounted for with a mudflap up in the front.
i'm gonna take off the cb7 side skirts, line the cd5 up with them side by side, and mark where the holes on the cb7 match up with the cd5 skirts (where the plastic rivets go under the body, those holes) so that i can adapt the cd5 skirts to the OEM mounting holes. and then... iono, somehow attach it after that with some hidden self tapping screws haha. i'll see
