I'm seriously thinking of changing my sideskirts to EKs. When I first got my lip kit I really didn't like the Type Zero skirts because of the vent. I wanted something without vents and contours etc for a more clean JDM look. I just could not find any skirts that fit my taste so I just got those instead as they seemed to be the only ones available that were anywhere close to conservative. I recently found out EK skirts will fit with very little modification, so I think I am going to check a few salvage yards for some. Here is an example of an EJ1 with EK skirts. This is just super clean IMHO and more along the lines of what I wanted initially. What do you guys think?

 

go for it man...i've been wanting to do the same thing. my sisters got an EJ8 and i've been thinkin about stealing hers but i dun think she'd like that very much haha. might have some luck at a junk yard tho...

 

Yeah, there's always been something about these sideskirts that kind of irk me. I called around and I definitely won't have a problem finding any. They run for about $30-$35 each. Just need to find some in good condition...

EDIT: I found a DIY where a guy put sideskirts on a sedan from a coupe. [&:]??? Anyone have any input on fitment regarding coupes, hatches, and sedans? Are they all interchangeable? Thanks in advance...

 

im not sure on the interchangeable...but thos look reallly nice on it, +1 for it

 

go for it jake. that car looks sick. i wish i would have got a lip kit now instead of a body kit anyway i would go and change those sideskirts and put the EK's on if i were you

 

i dunno about the sedans but i think the hatches will fit and i kno the coupes will fit.

 

Thanks for the replies everyone... I'm going for it. I think the rear is what differs from what I've read so far. Where there is not a door on the coupes and hatches, there will be a kind of blank spot on the rear door for a sedan. So I'll just be sure to get either coupe or hatch skirts. I'll post some pics when I get it on...

 

Update... Well I got the skirts on and they look good. $75 bucks off of a 98 coupe. Just a few modifications to get them on. Washed them and treated them with mothers back to black and kiwi shoe polish to eliminate the white scuff marks.(yes it works well) I will paint at a later date... I think I need to lower my car a bit more now to complete the look I want. I want the tires to tuck just a tad so I'll need to get some more lowering springs and possibly a camber kit. I couldn't get pics because of the rain we've been having and the garage is too dark to get a good look. I'll post pics on this thread when I get a chance. Thanks again for the input fellas...

 

We finally got a break from the rain so I got a few pics of the EK skirts. Fitment is great and I think it looks real good. The Type Zeros were bulky, I never liked the vents on the side, almost toyish looking... let's just say I was growing very tired of them. I like the clean polished look of the EK skirts much better. I plan on getting some adjustable coilovers/springs and a camber kit very soon to drop it a bit more. Anyway here are the pics for now...

 

Mint!
