Hi all, this is my first DIY write up so hope you all like it :]
Tools:
- 2x EK OEM sideskirts
- Screw driver
- hack saw/dremel tool *whatever you find easiest to cut plastic*
- Drill
As most of you might know, EK items are roughly 1-2 inches longer then EG items, so there is some modification involved. but nothing over the top :]
1- Start by taking off the EG sideskirt. Screws in the front and underneath.

after all screws are out, slide the side skirt TOWARDS the front of the car.

2- Now that you have that off, you can test fit the EK item.

you can see how much is needed to be trimmed off.
3- i just traced a line where the guard ends. *refer to pic*

4- TAKE YOUR TIME TRIMMING IF YOURE USING A HACKSAW. a dremel tool would be the ideal tool to use if you can get your hands on one.
*dont have pics of this bit sorry*
5- Do another test fit,see if you have cut enough.
6- Now line it up with the EG side skirt and measure out where the new holes need to be drilled out. *refer to pic*

and thats it! bolt everything back up and enjoy your new modification :]

as for the gap on the front end of the sideskirt, ill be plastic welding the end some time in the next few weeks. so ill update this DIY then :] another way around it is to cover it up with mudflap. Most people do this. Alot easier and less hassle.
Hope you all enjoyed my write up
