Thread: any nx without sideskirt pics?

im lookinh to take off the side skirt to kill some rust.. im not sure if tey will be able to be put back on?

anyone have pics of that?

No pics but you will probably need to replace the rubber anchor plugs. These plugs will usually break during disassembly.
Dealer inexpensive item.

Look at a 1600. it doesnt have side skirts, Just picture a couple holes in the side of it.

There a few 10mm bolts and some little clips that come right off. The sideskirts are actually 2 pieces if you didn't know. They come off easy.

Yes, but if the dealer doesnt have them they are pretty pricey as the come in a decent qty. bag.(this is what i would assume) I think i was quoted around $150.00 for all the hardware to bolt the stock sides back on with oem hardware from greg v. I am cheap, and half the stock hardware was broken anyway the entire ownership of my nx(many yrs), so from the junkyard nx2k i pulled all the clips and such and used them on my sides after the restoration.

I think i have 4 more clips per side holding the skirts in place compared to before. They are held in place 10x better than before and they have never fallen off at speeds in excess of 150+mph when only partially bolted in.

I dont see how they could cost that much as the screws/bolts are very cheap.(basically liscense plate screws) which i worked at a dealership and can confirm this, and the rest is some plastic square clips that snap into the body. Some of the clips are of the push in type though which could be expensive. These are the ones that clip into the sideskirts themselves, which the sides then get snaped into the rocker pannels.
