Ok,im planning to buy OEM sideskirts with some extensions but the SIII and OEM extensions are not what i really want. I want something similar to OEM extensions but without the extra part that goes over the bumper/fender. I did some rough shops just to give you an idea (sorry Tufy and JDog for using your car)
imagine the grey part only is the extension  imagine the pink part removed  im sure it would look really good but my question to those who have OEM extensions: Do you think it is physically possible to cut the extra parts and mount them on the car (in other words: are the parts going over the bumper/fender really needed or they are needed because else it would not hold on the car?) Im thinking of just cutting those extra parts.. what do you think? |

After just looking at front and rear extension I must say that the parts that go over bumpers are mainly to give the shape, not to mount. Extensions basically hold on the edge of those parts, if cut - one would have to change the shape of lower part for it to touch the bumper for mounting.
Bumper and extension primitive drawing below should give you the idea how they go with each other:
