I have previusly seen black side skirts that can be mounted under the factory side skirts on 84-86 civics and crxs. I know they are factory from another honda from about the mid 90's but I can not find a picture of them anymore. I have only seen them in black and I know they need to be shortend a little bit. Can anybody help me identefy these?

The donor I was looking for was a 95-97 accord, however there was not one at my local scrap yard. I did find the exact same side skirts on a 96 Acura CL. The only difference was they came un painted on the Accord and painted on the CL. I was planing on painting them anyway so It did not matter.

There was a fair bit of modification required to make these work well.
1. You have to cut them down to size, I removed the front because I had the factory mud flaps from the CL to conceal the open end.
2. Trim off the bottom flap that mounted it to the bottom of the CL/Accord.
3. Tape the skirt in the desired position and screw it into place.
I am very happy with the end result. these skirts have the perfect shape to match the original CRX body and the newer Mugen bumper.

88 Integra SE skirts fit and look the very best.

The integra side skirt would not add any extra height. The goal was to increase the height of the side skirt to match the ground clearance of the bumper and make the car appear lower without sacrificing suspension travel or ground clearance.

How do you figure? The point of any sideskirt is to do just that. Make the car appear and look lower. And that's what OEM aero kits normally do, including the 88 SE.

Theres no shit talking coming from me. I would love to have some integra SE skirts but there is not much pre 90's stuff around me. I think my soulution was inexpensive and perfect for me.

The fenders were made by a friend of mine, but I have seen others out there so sombody must sell them. I would much rather buy fenders from ksuso or heeltoe. I bet there fenders would fit much better then mine.
