Mazda stopped a lot of parts this year though, what is up with that. They are trying to make it hard on the FD guys I guess...

Not that I'm gonna paint it myself, but just curious.

I didn't take it to any bodyshop.
Sorry to being an old thread back but im soon gonna install my oem skirts within the next week or 2 but i want to be ready so i dont have to stop.
The self tapping screws, whats a sufficient length size? Like an inch?
And what are you guys using to hold the skirt at the very end? The one that needs 2 screws? How is that held in place? Do you just drill right into the body?

It looks like, in rx7rages' pic, that the 2 screws at the very end, they are put through the body (rear fender)?
Is that where its supposed to go? Cause then thats 2 permanent holes.

Back from the dead... again.
Does anyone have the part number for the OEM sides?
I saw a few pics of NOS sides, they came with some kind of paste/liquid. I thought it was glue but now I wonder if that was some kind of paint additive or something!
EDIT:
And anyone know if the FEED Afflux under-side skirts will fit on top of OEM sides?? Thanks!
