11. after everything is cut place the skirt on teh car. You will not be using the 11 clips that you had to slide the 4th gen skirt off.

12.(front wheel well) I then allined the skirt to where I wanted it and then drilled new mounting holes in the skirt (for the 3 screws that are in the front wheel well)

13. I then went to the rear wheel well and drilled a hole and put a self-tapping screw and washer in for more support


14.Then back under the car, put the plactic screws back in.

15.For added support cause the 11 clips were not used I placed 4 self-tapping screws with washers in

16. place wheels back on and snug lug nugs

17 Lower car

18. Touque lug nuts

19Stand back and admire your beautyfull 4th gen

and then do the other side

Sorry if this is a Bad DIY my first one if you have any questions let me know good luck.

Awesome!
I've been wondering if stock skirts would fit... Now all I need to know is if the rear lip will fit properly! (i want a total 5th gen 'bodykit" )

Good job, thanks!

[91cord]

send me a rear bumper and I will try and put it on LOL no JK
Thanks That would look pretty tight a 4th gen with a 5th gen body kit.

bumping this thread because it is very useful for people who want to retrofit the 5th Gen OEM side skirts onto the CB.

sick!

[rocketman_471]

Is there any more pics of the mounting process? I'm a little confused on what is all needed under the car where the original clips would go....

you need the body plastic riveting screws, working ones preferrably. you copy the holes from the CB7 skirt and all the location dimensions over onto the cd skirt.

the only things that will be holding up this skirt, using this DIY, is those plastic riveting screws, a pair of mudflaps, and that one screw in the back. lmk if you need more info

[cb7_with_snail]

can you post pics of finished product? like whole car?
