Default EK Sideskirts, got ideas?

So I bought a set of ek sides and have been playing around today with ideas of how I want to cut them down and also the best way to go about making them fit.

Both ideas involve cutting the extra 5in or so off the front part.. especially since I run mudguards.

Main issue is how to get them to fit right. I was thinking about getting another set of dc sides and cutting the dc's up, taking the bottom that runs other the car and putting them together with the actually side part of the ek's that you see, that way the clips under the car could be used. I could also take the plastic "slider" pieces and fit them to the ek sides that way they would stick out far enough to match the body lines.

Any other ideas, comments or anything? (Please no comments like get optionals or anything negative like that, this isn't a discussion of if I should its of how I should do it. Thanks in advance)

Yeah I don't think the bottom will be an issue... I think it will be getting them to stick out enough to fit the body lines... thats why I was thinking of cutting up a crappy set of dc's
