HFP Side Skirts

boltuprite · 04-10-2008, 08:08 AM

I have a couple of dings on my passenger side rocker panel but I can get a hold of some HFP side skirts (which I figured would cover the dings right up because the skirts fit over top).

The dilemna is that I don't really like the front lip and rear HFP spoilers but I wonder if the side skirts would look out of place without them, although I have seen other cars (not Civic's) with just side skirts.

Opinions or if anyone has done this or has pics would be appreciated.

it would look weird. Are you planning to get any kind of kit at all?

Not too many replies because not many get sides only. Most people get front and rear but no sides. It's probably something you're going to have to try out.

Yah thats what i was asking if the OP was going get any kind of bodykit or lips, b/c I only have the HFP Front and Rear and I'm not really planning on getting the sides at all.

Just wondering could you post some pics of how bad the damage is? Are they dents or scratches? B/c some one hit me in my rear and I scratched my front HFP kit. But this week i'm going to repaint them. If it turns out really well and if your "dings" are scratches or big scrapes then I'll post some pics up and do a DIY.

Hey all, thanks for the replies,

Yeah I kind of came to that conclusion myself. The dents aren't bad (i must have went over a curb or a parking block this winter) but I KNOW they are there. Fortunately there are no cracks or splits in the paint,,,just dented.

Anyway I am either going to go for the full kit or just the front and sides (depends on what kind of deal I can swing).

I'll post up pics when I get the HFP installed.

thanks for all your input.
