Hey guys. I just received some 2005 screaming yellow GT take off rocker panels (side skirts) from Diversified Marketing today. And let me tell everyone how hard it is to find GT take offs in screaming yellow!! When I first opened up the box and saw them, I was like "oh my god". They were in horrible shape. Look like scratches everywhere, black stuff everywhere, and some broken tabs on the bottom. I took a deep breath and decided to just wipe them off with a towel and warm water. Wow! Everything came off and it looked like new. I was surprised. But I still have the problem with the broken tabs. There is one side skirt with two broken tabs on the bottom. I think luckily enough they are far enough apart and not at the very ends that it wont affect the install and it will hold up. My question is: has anybody ran into this problem and will it be a problem with the installation and it holding up? Please help!!. Im going to install myself with the help of the great writeups in this forum.

Me and my father put my Tungsten panels last night. I got them for $40 off a friend from the parts department on one of the local Ford dealers. We didn't have any broken tabs, but I imagine that they'd be fine. Those panels are held in place in I believe twenty different points. The tabs, providing you're referring to the little black slits where you 'hang' the skirt in place,are the least important, in my opinion. So I'd say you should be fine.
