Re: ek side skirts on a eg
For hatches, approximately 4" needs to be trimmed from the front. Most, if not all, of the clips do not line up, so you will need to drill holes into the lower rocker panel. Also, to make it a cleaner look, you will have to run mud guards or do some 'body' work on the side skirt to cap the front end you cut off.

Re: ek side skirts on a eg
i think the ek side skirts would only look good on a eg, if you put a mugen front lip, but yeah on hatches i believe you gotta cut about 3-4 inches.

Re: ek side skirts on a eg
I have EK 4dr skirts I tried fitting on my EG 4dr, and the EK flares out at the bottom of the fender where the EG doesn't and leaves a odd looking gap. No go for me.

Re: ek side skirts on a eg
yeah, a little cutting is due, but i think its worth it. They look really good in conjunction with a front lip and maybe some mud flaps to finish it off, also the mud flaps hide the cut on the front of the skirt. i got these on my EG and they look pretty good. i just had to drill a few holes in the front due to the clips not matching up, but some of the clips in the back matched perfect. Here are some pics of mine, i don't have the lips back on yet, and the car freakin dirty because it's in the paint shop, but I think they look great.
