Default Seibon TR-Style Carbon Fiber Side Skirts

Hi every, im new to the forum.

I have a Civic type-r ep3 here in the uk.

Ive got got a good amount of carbon fiber on it and ive just got some seibon side skirts.

Has anyone else on here got them?

I need alittle info if possible.

I took my original standard side skirts off today and went to fit the seibon ones, but they wouldnt fit, i measured them against the original ones and found they were 5mm shorter.

If anyone has got pics of them fitted a ep3 that would be great or any info would be great to. Thanks guys

since they are replicas they are all kinda short. I heard you have to trim both the front and the rear of the side skirt and just try to grind it down till it fits.

Don't be a UK ricer and just keep the OEM side skirts.

Or you can be a TOTAL ricer and get the 3M carbon fiber vinyl and wrap your OEM sideskirts with it.
