For the price, I'd go with the HFP ones: https://www.collegehillshonda.com/pr...08F04-T5A.html

I mean that seems like a fair price for a brand new pre-painted OEM side skirt.

I couldn't agree more, and they look so nice... Especially when paired with a set of rally style mud flaps.

I also looked into this when 18' Sport parts first started to get added into their online parts database. At the time, all the parts for Sport trim had a glitch (or human error) pricing and I took advantage. I was able to purchase 2 sets of sideskirts, a front lip spoiler, fog light garnish, and rear diffuser for stupid cheap prices.





Also be aware that these will require modification to the clips attached to the skirt to fit. The Sport trim Fits have holes in the bottom of the body where the clips go into. However since LX/EX/EX-L don't come standard with skirts, the holes are missing. Therefore you would need to cut the clips flush and use industrial grade double sided tape to attach to the body.

Can you drill the holes? I just don't trust the tape over time.

You definitely could. But they aren't just circular holes. They are recatangular shaped clips. Plus, not treating the holes correctly could also lead to unwanted rust. Can't remember correctly but i believe there were about 8 clips per side. If you clean the two surfaces well the industrial grade 3M tape will not come apart even after time.

it's worth noting the ends of the skirt are tacked in to the wheel well. Im sure zipties would be superior...but i also feel that zipties are the answer to the universe. lol
