Arrow I Need Help! Side Skirts Mounting Bracket! Help!!!

Ok, so the story goes..

I was installing my OEM sides. I put on the right-side sideskirt perfectly.

i'm sure most of you guys are familiar with installing sides. For OEM sides, there are the metal sheet brackets, that you put double side tape on, then you stick that bracket onto the side of the car. after that, you slide on the actual sideskirt and it should fit like a glove.

well.....

I messed up when putting the left side brackets for the sideskirt. It was JUST a tad too high (and the door wouldn't open since it was hitting the side), so i had to pull off the brakcets again. well, in doing so, the tape was so damn strong, that the only way to take off the brakcets, was basically unintentionally bending them and messing them up. they're both very bent.



So does anyone know of a place I could purchase the sideskirt metal brackets? i just need two. i'm currently driving with just one sideskirt on the right!

I went to the Honda dealership, and they're parts counter guy said that they can only sell the brackets as part of the entire sideskirt package which is $431 from the dealer. he said they can't sell the brackets by themsevles, since it all comes as a package. i find this incredibly retarded.

handaaccessories.com doesn't carry them.


anyone know where i could them get? I WOULD SO INSANELY APPRECAITE IT!

good news,


i took the brackets, put a piece of thick cardboard in between the slip-on space, then i just hammered the brackets to straightness. i didn't pound super hard on the brackets, just lightly tapping them till they were straight. then i just put some space in between, and it worked! i put the tape on, stuck them on teh car, and the sideskirt slid right on.

thanks for the help.

I need two brackets for my RS sides. I jumped the curb and pulled the backets that came with the sides off. They look like _|- kind of. "S" shaped. Can anyone help me? haha
