GTU bodykit - how to take off the sideskirts?
I have to take off the sideskirts off a GTU tomorrow and i wonder how the brackets are mounted. Are they mounted with some rivets like on the GTZ? Is it about the same mounting as on the GTZ, front an rear?
I should know this soon cause i have to take some tools with me and dont want to drive twice

Rivets below or screws IIRC... the fender wells should be push clips or plastic rivets, then they just slide up and off like a stock base side skirt, they are held on with the same white plastic clips. The Z is completely different.

This is great info for a new GTU owner that needs to do some body kit repairs. Thanks guys!
Re: GTU bodykit - how to take off the sideskirts?
Yeah, i just took the bodykit off today. The brackets and everything are mounted with screws. Mostly needed a screwdriver, 8mm and 10mm nut to take the bodykit off. Worked great, untill i had screws that were rusted pretty bad and needed to get drilled out

7mm or 1/4" depending on year and use pb blaster on the front valence mounting j clips.
