If I upgrade to '02 side skirts can I keep the rear Mudguards '01?

Hi Peeps,
Thinking of adding '02 side skirts (rocker panels) to my '01 maxi. HOWEVER I realize the front mud guards have to be swapped because the '01's won't fit. But how about the rear mud guards? The '02's wont fit on the '01 rear bumper, but can we keep the '01 rear muds with '02 front ones?

Thanks for the info.

The rear mud flaps are on the rear bumper....the side skirts go on the side of the vehicle.

and the 00-01 mudflaps fit on the 02-03 rear bumper.

You could make the 00-01 mudflaps fit on the 02 side skirts with a little dremel trimming

Hi, I realize that mud flaps are on the rear bumper. But when I said can I keep the 01' muds on it was for looks. Does the '01 mudflap look much different than the '02 mud if I have one set on front and one set on the rears? P.S. any fotos of rocker panel swap?

Thanks.

the side skirts I just bolted in with 4 sheet metal screws and washers on the underside after sizing it up. It took me about 5 mins each side.

As far as keeping just the mudflaps on the back its all a personal opinion, do what looks right to you.

About your mudguards? Also, where did you get the sideskirts and how much and where did you get them painted?
