Default sideskirt question

can the factory sideskirts/ rocker panel from the LX/DX accord fit the EX? i checked TAS and it's stated that the sides from the LX/ DX cannot fit the EX... is this true?


TAS

if tas says it, then believe them they know their stuff.
i would agree too since most things from lx/dx and ex arent the same .

Default trim

I think the only reason they say it is not for EX models is because the sideskirts on the EX models are painted body color to match.The DX LX and Special Editions have black, unpainted sideskirts, so for these the parts would fit and match without any extra work involved like prepping and painting.

besides being unpainted, the EX sides look a lil more grounded than the LX/DX sides.. can anyone confirm this?

Default side skirts

They are all the same size: DX,LX, SE and EX, 4cyl and V6 on the sedans. The splashguards are only sold under one part number for the sedans, and since the front splash guards fit over the the side skirt, that would mean that the side pieces are the same size, just different colors. The only other difference is for 2001 they changed slightly in design, but still attach to the body the same way.

EX skirts come painted, hence the reason to not buy them.
