Default Accord Skirts/Rear Lip on 93 Civic Coupe

Hi, I have an EJ1 and purchased some OEM side skirts from an Accord at a local junkyard. Just curious if anyone had any tips for installing them. I know that the side skirts are 2" to long and will have to cut them but the Front Mud/guard will cover the cut. Whats the best way to actually attach them to the car? Thanks for the help.

The rear lip screws might be difficult to use without seeing them. I dont know if tape will be strong enough to hold it. Can't find sh*t for info on using accord skirts/lip so looks like im on my own.

Alright so I took of my stock EG skirts tonight. They are attatched the same way that the accord skirts are, I believe EK skirts to. There are white clips on the car itself. The sideskirt is attatched by putting it in place except like an inch forward from where it normally sits. Than you push the side skirt towards the rear of the car. This moves the brackets (which are part of the stock EG skirt) towards the rear of the car locking them into place with the clips that are attatched to the car. The Accord side skirts I have have the same brackets built into the skirt, its just that the brackets are about a quarter inch to long. They hit the bottom part of the car and doesnt allow the side skirt to get pushed up against the car all the way. Therefore they cant reach the brackets on the car and the skirt itself is an inch to far out. If I just remove the bottom 1/4 inch of the brackets than it will take the bottom part of the bracket out which helps hold tthe bracket to the side skirt.

I tried researching on HT and all across the web. I of course googled it. And couldnt find really anything about Accord Skirts on an EG or more percisely and EJ1. I have seen this done before in a couple magazines and at a couple car shows. But no info on how to do it or even any hints. Am I one of the rare few who wants to put Accord skirts and rear lip on a 92-95 Civic?
