Those don't come off. ^^^^ They're literally part of the external frame...When you put on sideskirts, the sideskirts will go over those. The only thing i can think of that can get removed would be the plastic trim under the front fenders and plastic trim under the rear quarter panel.

Did you get those rep body kit? They dont have a good fitment and might need go to body shop for professional installation. I had the same situation where the side skirt was too short. Instead of paying more money to fit, I sold it.

im pretty sure he bought some reps but as long as you have some body experience you can make them fit properly. just gotta shave a lil bit here and there. it took me a day for each one of my sides but the fit great now...take your time and look at what is in the way...i didnt take any plastic off my car either...

these companies that make kits that dont fit should be exposed and blackballed------plain and simple

is there so many companies making these that we cant have a sticky on who to buy from and who not to buy from?

It would save alot of questions and uneccesarry threads.

this is actually the main reason i dont own a kit as of yet-----i dont know which company i can trust

the kits are copys which are never as good as the original plain and simple,

they are around because ppl demanded cheap body kits and cheap usually mean more labor

for those that dont mind doing things themselves its not so bad,
