ek sideskirts on an eg?..how do i do it?

[-S Double C-]

I recently bought a set of ek side skirts for my car and im wondering how to put them on someone let me know..i cant get them to line up perfect and heard you have to do some cutting

[Schugg]

whats not lining up?? the white clips wont line up more than like. i bought some new style civic side skirts and put them on a 95. i put the clips in the side skirts and only 2 lined up. after i pushing those in. i pushed on the side skirt where the other un lined up clips were and slid it up and down to make a mark on the car. after doing that with all the clips. take it off and find a drill bit that will fit in the original sqaure clip holes but will have lil play room not to much. drill holes where your marks are and put the clips back on the side skirt and it should fit right on.

if that wasnt your problem and its to long youll have to cut it on one of the ends.

well my side skirts came off a 00 coupe but i heard with some mods they should fit fine but i dont know exactly what to do?..lol..only 2 clips are fitting and that is the first two. the back is hanging off about a inch past the body

yah my friend had that problem, he didnt want to cut and of the back off so i think he just got the back lined up cut the front off and screwed it into the frame from the bottom

Cut the front and use OEM mud gaurds.

will sideskirts off a 96 civic hatch go on easier then a 96 coupe?..im trying to put ones on from a coupe but if the hatches go on easier then ill get them.

haha still working on getting those on?! if you got a good battery charged, or plugin drill and a good metal drill bit, the whole drilling new holes for the clips takes no time. as long as you take time and do it right it works good.

- old side skirt to side of car with the back lined up, mark everything hanging over the front, cut it off.

- put clips in all the holders on the side skirt

- push whichever ones will line up in, whichever ones dont go into one of the holes push the slide skirts against the car and slide it up and down so it make a line.

- after do that to all the clips, take a drill bit the barely fits in one of the sqaure holes but has a lil room to move

- drill a circle at the right level at each line

- put the side skirt on

after all that, either make new holes in the side skirt for the bottom screws to go into the stock holes on frame, or make new holes in frame for screws to go into stock holes on side skirt.

isnt as much works as it looks, maybe i got lucky and it was easy.




edit: oh yah, you asked a question haha, i got mine froma coupe, im not sure if its easier for new style hatch sideskirts, to go on the older style. this is what i had to do, to get new style coupe side skirts, onto the older style. (except for the cutting) im sure its close to the same for hatch to hatch
