Now that I've lowered my ef i think it needs some side skirts. However i dont wanna go the usual xr or venom. These kits do look good, but i was thinking of maybe modifying BF f6 typhoon skirts.
Has any one tried putting BA/BF skirts on the ef/el. If so what was involved in doing so. Thanks ppl |

fair enough, its probably the best thing to start with.
i cut the end off mine and covered it with the inner guard lining so it looks pretty much factory. and kept the side skirt flexible as i didnt use any fibreglass/filler on it. [img]hxxp://www.deleted link/pics/mycar/custombumper/side/P1010525.jpg[/img]

in this u can see where i removed some plastic, its nothing major, just trimming it back so it sits flush.
i just used a rotary tool until i was happy with it. [img]hxxp://www.deleted link/pics/mycar/custombumper/side/P1010571.jpg[/img]

is the part in the second picture towards the rear wheel.
Im guessing that the oval shaped holes are how its mounted, so if u cut them off towards the rear does it still fit up well |

yeah thats towards the rear i think.
i honestly can't remember :S lookin at the shape of the skirt there it is the rear. as for the oval holes, they don't do anything on my car. i just used the factory clips that go over the door sill.
