C west is good stuff. My only gripe is that the side skirts go into the door jam is my least favorite part of the kit. If not sanded down or installed correctly the door opening and closing can rub or wear the paint. You may want to sand contact areas where the door makes contact with the side skirt.

Thanks for the tip. I will definitely look into that. How long did it take for you to install and when the directions says to use a pen did you use that and draw lines on your car?

I had a shop do it since they had to paint match it. they also had to reinforce some of the inside since it was inconsistent in thickness. My car had to go back 3 times since fitment was messing with the door aka removing paint, i.e. my body show wasn't satisfied with their own work on paint matching that they wanted to paint match the parts for free! Talk about attention to detail. But anyway I didn't install it myself because I wanted it paint matched as it arrived raw.

Yeah you are right about the door jams. I will be buying new screws that fit better.

Flat-head screws would do the trick. Use your touch-up paint over the head of the screw so it hides better too.
