oem side skirts interchangable? Options

[Starcraftjunkie]

I did a quick search, and for the most part, no one knows for sure. Just lots of speculation and opinions.

Maybe we can put this to rest (or if it's been done, just point me to it.

Are the oem skirts interchangable? Does the verts fit the hatches/coupe and vice versa?
Is it the same part #?

I can confirm that the oem hatch/coupe sideskirts do not fit the 'vert without some modification. I bought a set of OEM hatch/coupe skirts from madmods last year for my 'vert, and in order for them to fit the 'vert, you have to remove some of the bracing on the back of the skirts. Doesn't look like it's too hard to do (mine came already done since they were on madmods' vert already). They also don't snap into the holes that are there for the stock black 'vert sideskirts - I had to screw/rivet them to the car and then cover up the screws/rivets.
The sets of skirts are both the same length (the 'vert ones come in two pieces per side, and the hatch/coupe ones come in one piece) but I haven't tried to mount the 'vert skirts on the hatch so I can't say for certain that they will fit. The good news is that the 'vert skirts are small enough to ship regular UPS, they're not oversize so shipping isn't too bad if any gets a set just to play with. I sent my 'vert oems across the country to madmods for $12 shipping with UPS.
