yah the car dusnt look good with them off.... i took mine off and had them off for 2 weeks till my paint arrived... and it looked like i had had a side impact on both sides lol... theres rivets and cut metal and hsit down there... also. DONT USE PLYERS TO REMOVE THE FUNNY POPPER FASTENERS... IF U DO END UP USING PLYERS... DONT PULL DOWN!!... i pulled downwards on on of the poppers and it gave easier than i thought.. slammed my thumb soo hard onto the drive it broke the nail in half... swelled up and wouldnt stop bleeding for hours.... 4 weeks later i can still feel pain lol.

my hands hurt even thinking about pulling the lower pegs. every single one(7 per side?) I smacked the ground hard- only had the car on stands...would be soo much easier with 3' of room...at a minimum roll up a old rug or towel and work above it- thats what I did after the first couple- the grounds still hard though

if you were able to reuse the pegs though, second time around they pull much easier- doubt theyd make a third time though...I had to replace a few after pulling twice.

Unless you drive a mineral grey and want side skirts... nobody carries them anymore since they dicontinued the color. DAMN YOU FORD!!

if you need a set, call mike at cascos- he told me he had about 500 sets of take offs to choose from, and could pick up to save shipping- ypsilanti(sp?) michigan if I remember right...

I haven't tried him yet because I can't find where his website disappeared to. Got an e-mail or contact info so I can reach him. I never see the sideskirts on his e-bay auctions.
