Well, in taking off my drag radials and using a jack stand as a wheel chock......I now have an awesome hole in my passenger side front side skirt.

So before I check the part out threads figured i would see who or what knows about any aftermarket side skirt options. Past a quick google search I hadn't done much digging. Just kind of hoping for someone who may have changed them?

At any rate let me know! and,

Glad you're not hurt, sorry to hear it, no idea on side skirts. Repaint base CTS skirts an option?

It looks like the CTS sport side skirts may be the same and I've seen some of those in the Pull-a-part...

I had my rear passenger one replaced by insurance after an ***-plowing in 2013 and my front driver one in 2014 by myself after a winter mishap. I don't think the aftermarket was an option. neither was cheap. They are snap on snap off tho so no fiddling or anything. Just open up the wallet. Or duct tape and epoxy what you have if it's not always visible. Maybe that's the redneck in me.

I have a couple of the clip mounts that are broken on mine. Waiting for the day I epoxy them as well.......

Ask luke for new clips...

Also i will have panels available in a weeks time.

But lets be honest, they are plastic and easily fixed and repainted

If someone can confirm that the ones from a CTS will work, I'm willing to go look at the local pull apart. I know they had four there last week.

according to the part numbers, cts sport skirts are the same...I was in a hurry so you might want to double check

How are they held on? I have one with a broken clip I would like to fix but don't want to wreck it taking it apart.

Lots of extremely brittle clips. Look at a diagram/drawing and you should be able to see. There are ones along the bottom, some straight into the side and maybe one or two in the wheelwell. They're held on pretty well but if you're going to replace a clip, replace them all. You're gonna break a few taking it off. They're cheap tho so whatever.

My issues is not the clips but the bracket that holds a couple into the skirt is broken

I have a passenger one you can have. It is a little toasty on the bottom, but it might work.

Some part # available from front driver side skirt and the white clips needed therefore?

Or did someone has a good lying at home which isn't needed anymore and willing to sell?

Here you go Nik. Took lots of digging to find this again but it's what I used to remove my front passenger rocker after one of the plastic mounts broke on mine. http://www.jon04ctsv.com/rocker_panels/

One of these days I need to pull off my front passenger side rocker panel, as it doesn't fit right. I hit someone a few years back at the front, right corner, and I think the wheel/tire maybe got pushed back against the rear of the wheel well on impact? Or maybe something else happened to it, I dunno. I think the #1 and/or #2 push pin holders on the panel are broken - not the push pins themselves, but the part that extends out from the inside of the panel and holds the push pins. I can see what appears to be a big glob of glue in there where the body shop "fixed" it.

When removing the old plastic fasteners I used a putty knife to slip in between the rocker and car. I put the knife up against the fastener and used my palm to give knife a little whack and shear the fastener. My putty knife was an older one that had a pretty thin blade so it could be beneficial to sharpen the blade a little if it was on the thicker side. Way safer to do that and replace the fasteners than risk the plastic mounts on the rocker.
