I am going to paint my EG hatch in the near future and am planning to use the OEM, EK Civic style sideskirts. My question is do I use the sideskirts off the hatch or the coupe.

if you use coupe or hatch you have to cut about 1.5-2 inches at the rear

Thanks. I did know that you had to trim the sideskirts a little to make them fit but I didn't know how much. So I guess this means you can use the coupe or hatch sideskirts and it doesn't matter which one.

coupe and hatch sideskirts are them same, it is the 4 door that is slightly diffrent.

is this just on ek models? because i know for a fact that 92-95 hb's have a short rocker panel than coupes. i got couple rocker panels and had to hack off at least .5" to make em fit.

that is a crappy *** custom job of ek sides man. eww. heres how its suppose to look: like OEM no gaps no nothing!!

hookedonvtec

how do u figure? because i didnt close up the end? if im gettin mud guards then theres really no point dont u think?

egbuiltright

not really a fan of them, but nice car.

eh i guess if you get mud gaurds its cool but i dont think the mudgaurds will cover all of the gap around that fender area.

hookedonvtec

theres is not gap besides in the front where i cut it because theres nothin holding it up, lets see a close picture of the red one and see how its done then.

cut off from the front, not the REAR, you want to save the nice flare in the back.

and mud flaps to cover the front hole...


did you guys have to make new holes for the clips? only 1 mount for the clip lined up, i had to make 3 more holes for other clips to hold on the EK skirts.

yea i drilled new holes, the best thing i would recomment would be to put bolts underneath the car too to help hold it in place, that way if u accidentally step on it gettin out of the car it wont rip off.

agreed, to bad so sad lol

good idea, but the holes underneath don't line up well enough to reuse those EG plastic clips/screws... did you make new holes for the bolts also?

hookedonvtec

i just put my own bolts in there, make sure u use wide washers too so it wont tear.

i see that door molding saved your driver side door from a vicious door ding. for keeping your moldings!

mrnicolas

I used the mud guards to hide the cut I made in mine. i think i was able to get 4 or 5 of the clips in for the sideskirts.

Nice^^^^^^^^^^

I didn't have to cut anything to make them fit on mine, It just clips right in...
