hey guys i just purchased sum ek sdeskirts do i have to do any modification to have it fit on my eg.. also wuts ur input on that look ? thnks in advance

 

I believe you have to cut about 2 inches from the front parts of the side skirts so that they'll fit on an EG. Personally I think EK side skirts look nice because of the way they flare out.

 

i agree. i think they would look good if they were painted to match your car. but it all depends on the owner of the car

 

im thinking of doing this to my car as well it looks really nice

 

same here. but i want to find SI side skirts. but i would feel bad cutting them to fit lol

 

Looks great, yes you have to cut some off the front. If your going to have them painted. Just let the body shop cut them and install them.

Have you seen photo's or cars with them?

rota92's yellow car has them.

 

just cut them and use the mud flap to cover the cut! looks good!!

 

not a bad idea. i amlost spaced the mud flaps

 

I have EK sideskirts on my 95 coupe...I think they look pretty cool.

 

thats a lot of gloss

 

ya i heard you didnt have to cut them on a coupe so i tried on my hatch and i had to cut about 2in and i did the cut myself so i just got EK mudflaps for the front to cover it and it looks pretty sikk the EG flaps are round and the skirts were more sqaure/straight so the EG flaps looks a little weird cuz they had a gap

Si sideskirts are exactly the same in construction as any other USDM '96-'00 Civic coupe or hatch sideskirt. Only the Si ones come painted standard. The other cars had them painted as an option.

Don't feel bad cutting them. It's not like they're rare.

 

Cut the 2" out of the middle. Then install them and reconnect the two pieces. Seal up the seam with some filler and paint to match car. No hack marks and some nice skirts.

 

thats a great idea nacivicsi . but what about if i dont have mudflaps . will it still look good . my cuzin will sell me his ek side skirts for 20 bucks too

 

It will look fine without mud flaps if you do it the way I stated you don't have any hack marks on the end of the skirts so they look OEM.

 

if you cut the front, the inner well cover should conceal a good amount of the hole. cutting it down the middle takes more work, money and time. and if it bothers you too much, mudguards are 60 at dealerships

Yeah that's the difference in halfassed looking skirts and OEM quality.

 

so can i use the ek mudflaps?

 

I doubt it.....

 

so the eg ones are reusable as long as i cut the front of the sideskirt?

 

So I won't have to do any cutting to put the ek side skirts on my 95 coupe

 

I wish somebody in this thread used a search engine.

Hatchbacks - cut approximately 2" off the front, redrill most mounting holes.
Coupes - don't cut, redrill most mounting holes.

Modify EG mudflaps if that's the route you choose to go; EK/EM will not work.

 

the above comment is exactly right.

its not hard to cut and fold the front of the skirt for the hatch either. there is only a little cut mark on mine right now and you can barely see it. a little fiber glass and or bondo and it would be flawless. i am just kindof lazy right now
