So I tried trimming and it barely worked. BUT if anyone does come into this problem this is what I have done to fix the flaring. Obviously when you cut the front part of the side skirts it's still gunna flare out due to the way the ek fenders are shaped. And of course basic knowledge, the top part you cut out is what's going to "hold" the side skirts into place and be able to push the flares in by a little bit if not maybe majority of it. But you cut that off already. You have two options: 1) use a heat gun to straighten it out a little bit (not to sure if it'll work because I don't have a heat gun but the use of heating parts up with a heat gun is to change its shape easily due to absorption of hot heat) not top sure if it'll work on plastic since I've seen lots of people do it to metal or 2) go ape shit and find a little folding spot on the side skirt (I bent the sideskirt around the area where the corner of the edge of the little part of the body is sticking out in the 2nd picture and side skirt meet) and bend it the other way to "straighten" the side skirt out. Not professional, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Obviously had to do this one cause I don't have a heat gun. Either that or you got a messed up side skirt lol.
