usdm type r side skirts won't fit??

[Accordexcpe95]

hey guys. i have been tryin to make the side skirts to fit. but it won't go in for some reason.. do you guys have to grind n sand it??? it seems like the skirt is too short?? it won't go in at all... any tips will be helpful. thanks :)

did you unclip some of the front wheel well because the fronts connect under (behind) the wheel well lining

they fit. take the 2 screws out of the front fenderwell. slide the front end of the skirt under the plastic inner fender cover. have someone hold it there or mark the hole and drill it and screw it in place. then move to the back....slide the rear portion up. not sideways. the whole idea is for them to be tight. line up the section that runs along the door, and it doesn't go over the door sill...just to the side of it. you may need to trim where that small crease is about 2 inches up from the bottom of the door sill.

How are you guys attaching the USDM sides to your cars?

There are two screws in the front and two in the back of the side skirt? What about the middle?

it's tight.... but they should fit.... many of the members had problems fitting them, only to find them very tightly fitted on afterwards.... so be patient... and don't force them in too quickly

Are these replicas? If so, that could be part of the issue. If they're OEM then you're just not doing it right or over looking something.

Pictures would help.

hahahah. ok. i have them too. Just use screws on the wheel wells. If the fit is too tight, youre goinna have to shave the skirt until it fits

Had replica sides, fit extremely tight, but they rattled in the middle against the bottom rocker, figured that cant be good for paint either, since they lay right on the body without any gasket between. Id spend the couple dollars more just to get real sides. Replicas are like 175 for both, then to get painted the RIGHT way can be at least 100 per side, thats 375 roughly, the real side are like 450 from SSUSA, thats a no brainer there.
