oem ek side skirts are not a direct fit so one would assume aftermarket side skirts designed to fit an ek will not be a direct fit either

well i know they arent a "direct fit" i didnt expect to just get them and throw them on the car so that doesnt really answer my question... maybe i should rephrase my question, will the aftermarket ek skirts fit with a little more or the same amount of effort as the oem skirts? or should i not waste my time and money?

i'd say don't waste your money. you will have to cut them and the design of the above skirts will prolly look like shit if you cut em

It will work and can work, with a good understanding of body work. you'll have to cut a certain amount out and fiberglass the inside to hold it. Never fiberglass the outside. Seen it done a million times. After you have the length needed and fiberglass reinforced ont he back side. Start on the outside by lightly coating it with filler(bondo). DO NOT USE fiberglass bondo. After you get the cut filled in perfectly, test fit one more time and then take to paint. Hope I could help
EDIT:: Don't forget to sand the filler down smooth before paint...lol..
