I couldn't find anything in a search of the forum.

there's a 'thanks' button on the bottom right of every post. you might be locked out of that function until reaching a higher post count, to prove you're not a bot, or irritating, or something.

I thought it might be that, but most other forums I frequent open things up after 5 posts. I guess I'll push up to 10 and see if that does it

Sorry, but one useless post to get me to 10 so I can see if that make the Thank You function active.

And that did it

Annnnnnnnnnnd the side skirts kind of just installed themselves LOL

I just purchased some 3m double sided VHB and threw two lines on each skirt, IPA'd cleaned the car (and the skirt before the tape) and then popped 'em on.

Hopefully they stick forever. If not... I mean, $99 for knockoff skirts shipped from CA lol

A $99 "knock-off" aero kit is a bargain for one man, a very expensive fix for another when they peel off and decide to thwack the car behind..

So a few folks have said "hey, tape is great" and a few have said "hey! you need screws!"

So I'm meeting them all in the middle. I'm going to put a rivnut into the fender and one into the rear rocker and then I'm going to bolt/washer the front and rear of the skirts so they don't go anywhere.

I'm curious - do the skirts do *anything* in terms of car performance or is it just the look?

So the rear went on today. Mostly easy. Had to remove the oem mudflaps I installed a while back. It uses two existing mounting points on each side of the rear bumper so if you're going to do this, make sure you get the second plastic clip actually aligned and through all THREE pieces of the bumper before pushing the center in to lock it.

ALSO, before installing the rear spoiler since it comes with ZERO instructions, install the edging that's supplied in the bag BEFORE mounting the thing to the car. It's a GIANT pain to do this after mounting. Ask me how I know...

I'll probably do the front lip tomorrow and the skirts next weekend.

I have been looking for a rear diffuser for the 17+ cars and haven't had much luck That looks exactly like what I am after. Where did you order it from?

Just make sure if you get it, to install the gasket looking rubber on the edge BEFORE installing it lol
