This page shows my little honda accord side skirt trick. You need to pull the skirts off of a 94 accord, it doesn't matter if its a two of four door, they will both work. there are no screws that hold it in, just those snap-lock pins, so when you pull it off the honda, just pry it off!

This is a rough idea of what it looks like when its done (i will get better pictures after i get the car running again):

A list of materials you will need:

- An electric drill, with a small and large drill bit, as well as a s phillips attachment

- a regular philips screwdriver

- metal-grade screws (14)

- Washers (14)

- Hack saw

- Black or Clear silicon (if you wish to mold it to the mudflaps)

the First step is to cut off the excess skirt (there will be roughly a foot, give or take a few inches, of excess). After this, if you wish to paint it, you may do so.

The next step is to drill a pilot hole in the very back of the skirt (under the very top lip) as well as in the sheet metal underneath that car (where you drill the pilot hole is completly to your taste, if you wish to have it under the car more, then put the hole further back).

Next take your metal grade screw and use the drill to drill it into the metal, creating a path for the screw to follow, then back the screw out. after that, drill a quarter inch hold into the underside of the flap, this will allow you to get a screwdriver in there to tighten the screw, because a drill is simply too big to get back there. Like so:

Take a washer and the screw, and begin to screw it in place, you cannot use a drill here, you must use just a phillips screwdriver, use the quarter inch hole to get the phillips under the flap. after tightening it down, you now have the back of the skirt mounted, repeat this process so you have four total screws holding it to the car (any less, and there will be a lot of sagging).

After you have the entire skirt mounted to the car, you will notice that the underside of the skirt sagswhat you must do from here is take the hacksaw, and cut flaps that you will use to bolt up onto the underside of the car, three should do the trick, but four would be better. next, create pilot holes in these flaps, as well as the car itself. drill the metal screws into place with washers this is about what it should look like:

After you have all four flaps drilled in, you may wish to cut off all the excess skirt on the underside with your hacksaw.

If you would like to leave your front mudflaps on, you will have to custom cut the skirt in the front. dont worry about perfection, because after you have a rough fit, you can use clear or black silicon (depending on what you painted it) to mold it to the front flap and hide the probable slop cut, like so:
