These were quite easy to put on. I had to cut out the ribs/mounting brackets with a pair of snips. I then used a grinding wheel to flatten them out a bit. This made the skirt flush with my body. The skirts all made of plastic, so its quite easy to cut out. I then added 3 countersunk screws and rivets on the side, and I got a skirt tha keeps it simple and looks better then the stock skirts. And yes yes, thats the stock rim in the back-i got a flat!

Good work. Now perhaps we can end the debate about whether the sides on the hatch are different than on a coupe / convertible.

I saw some guy that was selling his celica on ebay do them, or he had a shop do them. Thats were I got the ideal, so I got to give him credit.
