The one for a non-skirt car is shorter, so it doesn't snap in as it should. :) I used a utility knife and trimmed it a little on each side to hold on better.

I am not sure I follow you. Maybe I will once I go to install them. Will I need to trim the inner fender liner or the skirt cap on the front end? These are a little rough as they have been on and off another Focus a couple times as they have been painted yellow. I would think they were on a ZX3 as all of the little clips along the inside of the skirt were intact.

What would you think about putting some rivets in along the seam where the rockers meet the floor? You know along where the jacking points are, good idea or bad idea? But that is something I can worry about when it gets warmer. I need to sand, prep and paint them first.
