Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior side skirts

i was just wondering, when installing side skirts such as the trd or wings west ones. does the black part need to be removed for them to fit on right?

Keep the factory skirts

Put the aftermaket ones over it

incase you dont know what black peice im talking about. i mean this...

When I had my TRD side skirts installed...the bodyshop took the factory skirts off.

yeah thats what i thought, i was looking at this one pair a person was selling and i put them up to my car and then didnt seem to fit on right. so i thought they had to come off, but i guess they were fake and fitmit was crap

For the authentic TRD sideskirts, you remove the stock ones. Some aftermarket side skirts go over the stock ones.

see thats what i love about this forum i get the answers and info i need in a matter of min no matter when. you guys are the best, always a lot of help.

I have a similar question. I bought my car with the TRD kit straight from the dealer and i took them off. My car did not have that black plastic vondutchguy shows us and my car is in the shop getting the RMM sides put on... will they fit or do i need that black thing?

You wont need the black thing. Someone stated above that there are some kits that go over them, but i dont see how they could fit all that well. In your case, i am sure that the rmm sides will fit.

If it doesn't fit it's not made for your car.
That's my opinion. I had some skirts once and they didn't fit. When I removed the stock black plastics there still was no good fitment. So I sent those skirts back.
