Side skirts don't look right

Slim415 · 02-10-2020, 07:27 PM

My side skirts don't look anything like the pics from ECS where I got them. My mechanic swears he put them on right. Any thoughts? The first pics are from the website and the last are of my car.

Looks fine to me. They are M-sport replicas.

Looks like they're on the wrong side to me. Tapered end should be at the front.

In the picture from ECS is looks like the more curved/angled edge is at the front of the car, while yours has it at the rear. So yes, I would say they are on backwards..

He means the side skirt "splitters"

How many threads does it take to get an answer?

Usually 1 but in this case 2. Thanks for counting.

The left is on the right side and the right one is on the left side.

My mechanic and I spent some time working on it last night and we switched the sides, flipped them and they never looked right in any variation. When we flipped them, they looked pretty much like the photos online, but the skirts sat about and inch and a half too far forward. So it was protruding into the front wheel well and looked like shit. Seems the side skirts have cut outs for the jack points under the car. And I guess they weren't cut correctly. My mechanic is going to cut out an inch and a half and then hopefully the skirts will sit perfectly flush.

Before cutting, I would contact ECS customer service....
