Do you have a picture or part # for the tool?

where did you buy this tool and how much did it cost. it's probally a one time deal since we don't change out side skirts very often. too bad we just can't borrow one of these bad boys for a day.

honestly guys you really dont even need to use the clips ....... the screws running along the side of the car and the bolts holding them in on both ends are enough to keep it in place....and the skirts dont shake or rattle if you choose not to use the clips....
I know some of you want to install things the way they are suppose to be installed...but this aspect really isnt that big of a deal...

I wonder if these quick release style will work ok instead. This is from my ES
I know Rom said his had this kind. I wonder if earlier years had these instead.

that's not what I have. see page 1 for the other kind.
I wish I have the one like yours, so easier to remove.

They MIGHT however be the same diameter.
Aren't these what you have ROM? Factory on your GS?

j/kAll cars have this type of fastener somewhere. I'm buying that tool today, my aero kit should be here next week or so(I hope)
