do you have to remove the old clips? what if you just leave it in place, would the l-tuned skirts fit right over it?

i received my skirts without new clips so i was going to go without the new clips for the install...i am not saying i want to re-use the old ones...but just wondering if the new skirts would fit right over without breaking off the old clips...or would they be in the way?

thanks

from here lee

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/images/...00/750521C.jpg

i got them when i ordered my motor mounts so it was efficient with the shipping costs. i had to PM darrell though to get the right part # (i think it was the ) i looked back at my old order but on the new system they dont list the part # of stuff you ordered just a description. i ordered 20 of them (it takes 18 i think i recall) so i would have a extra or two though i might recommend ordered 25 or so as i broke one or two installing them.

y are u so concerned with what kind of money i spent and what i spend it on? this is the second thread you have commented on what i spend and how i spend it?

FYI i sized those clips AND bought some and they didnt fit well.... i have used the GM clips in different places on my lexus but in this application they didnt work well for me
