Ive not got the title yet, and the car isn't running and I go to get a tool, close the door and pop....off comes with ground effect.....where in gods name can I get some new clips??


ebay?
 
I got mine from STM while picking up some other parts. They are really reasonably priced I thought although that Ebay add beats them LOL. There are two different type of clips as well, it sounds like you just meant the door cladding on the door itself that matches up with the sideskirt to keep the flow going in which case that link is the right style, if you meant the actual sideskirt came unclipped, make sure you buy the right style. The other ones are yellow (may change by manufacturer) and a bit bigger. Also make sure when you take off the piece to put the new clips in that you look up the proper procedure. Basically you have to pry one part out then slide the rest.

The way they designed it, the skirts and cladding can't slide off because some of the clips are positioned backwards from the rest. When you look on the back of the part that fell you'll understand what I mean! Good luck...

I work at a local Honda dealer and the design is similar. These are white clips and fairly small. :)
 
I have a similar situation. I have these TEIN skirts that have been sitting around for months waiting to be intstalled. I know about those Ebay clips, but this clip is something I can't find anywhere. I've looked all over. Not even sure what it's called. That's a Phillips head screw sticking out of it. Anyone know what this is?
 
Dgdsm- I think these are what you are talking about. If so I picked them up at oreillys. Part number in pic.

Those are the ones used for the inner fenders in the wheel wells.
 
Sweet. Thanks everybody. I will post up when I get the clips for the communities info. Seemed like a good deal.
 
If you have a local Lowe's Home Improvement store, they have some hard to find random parts like that.
 
Well actually I forgot this thread....but yeah that ebay link I posted up worked great! Good suggestion, thanks! Though I suggest taking your injector in. 3/8 may be the outer diameter but not the inner....I matched them up myself.
