Alright, back from our break and party for being done with the first step. Now time to tackle the side skirts and infamous ES Trim.
Step #6 SIDE SKIRT REMOVAL. First of all, there are bolts along the underside of the car. Remove them, along with the screws on each end of the skirt. This is on the UNDERSIDE not the clips by the door.
Once those bolts are removed, we go to the inside of the car. Remove all lower rear quarter trim interior (the one with the speaker cover in it). If help is needed with this, for the sake of thread length, refer to Stealth316.com for instructions). Now once that is removed, remove the seat belt "spool". Behind this will be a nut like from the tail lights holding the skirt in place. Remove it.
Next remove the dirt skirt from the front wheel well. at this point all that is holding the skirt on is the plastic clips. Start from the front and work backwards gently prying it off one clip at a time.
Step #7 SIDE TRIM REMOVAL. Time for that annoying strip to come off! This simply clips in with the same plastic clips as the skirt. Start from the FRONT of the door and pull out gently but firmly, it will pop out. Keep going down the door until the LAST clip. This does not pop out, you must slide the trim backward and off this clip.
The side should look like this:
Oh and btw remove the black vent as seen in above picture.
*CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE NOW 2/3 DONE WITH THE REMOVAL STAGE*
Take another break, the next stage can take a bit.
