[riceboy89]

umm, if i understand your question correctly, you are asking if you have to remove the stock sides to put the new ones on. the answer is yes.

[chris_s14]

yep, you need to remove the stock skirts before you can put on the new side skirts.

[adnoh97]

yes remove sideskirts and make sure you don't have side skirts for a four door car with your car being a two door or vice versa

That's not true in some cases. I just installed a spyder body kits for my friend's 4 door Accord 96. He bought his body kit off ebay and it wasn't drilled so I put the side skirts over the old one and mounted it on. the stock skirts supported the side skirts actually. So it depends, if you have to then you must replace but if you can see that you can fit without removing it then it's better to leave it on that way it can support your skirts.
