Side skirts went on easily after all the measuring and marking with tape.

BaysonR lip drove me nuts. It is a REALLY tight fit. On the first try I had the front all lined up perfectly but the back/sides would not wrap around the back edge of the bumper.

The next day I took it back off and set it in the sun for a bit. Note...the included push-clips basically disintegrated when trying to pop them out. They're mangled now. Luckily, I have a bag of them from NAPA. I put the new clips in and taped up the sides to get an idea of fitment, then screwed in the ends. Then I went along and pulled/screwed around to the front. PITA but looks good now. I've already scraped it a bit on my driveway, so I'm glad I didn't spend the coin on the STi version.

I just need to make sure not to stomp on my side skirts when getting out of the car...

HAHA working on it! I had the ends of the side skirts wrapped with tape because they were pulling away from the car a bit (3M tape not holding). I'll take some more when I go to lunch, now that all the tape is off.

LOL wonderful...I'm doomed!

It's hard enought getting out of the car being 6'4" and not always being able to open the door all the way.

But it looks good, so ...

@chanomatik ... not the best pics, but I wanted to get something uploaded just for you.

Sadly, it looks like I'll need to find new, thicker, double-sided tape. I had to double up on the 3M tape I picked up at Autozone, but that was all they had. It's not terrible right now, but I bet a good wash or two will make it a lot worse.

Last night as I left work, I hit something on the road that took out both driver's side tires and may have ruined the wheels, not entirely sure yet. Got towed back to work since it's over 30 miles home and I only get 7 miles free, then my girlfriend picked me up and took me back to the scene.

It was a small, maybe 6" diameter water hole cover that was lodged in at an angle so an edge was sticking up and that's what I ran over. I took pics and moved a nearby orange cone next to it. As we were leaving, I watched another car go right over it and kill the same tires I just did.

We also stopped at the fire station that's on the same block and let them know so they could contact the city, I had no idea who to call after hours.

GF had the day of anyway, so she's taking me and my stock set back to work so I can swap em out. This sucks...
