Yep...I've done it!! lol..

Take it out of the boxes and put the seats down. If you're a decent tetris player, then you should be able to get it in with no problem. I wanna say one side of the front bumper has to go in the front seat. I forget exactly how I got it in there, but I did without damaging anything. The kit is somewhat flexible so you can move a little bit to fit it in, but try not to bend it too much. Good luck.

I've fit 8 ft 2x4's in the TSX. I doubt the sides skirts are 8ft long.

I just got my set in today. They do fit, but you have to take them out of the boxes. Be careful when moving them around and driving! You dont want ot scratch your new shizle.

Thumbs up

I just took them home from work. The back seats are down (DUH!) and the front passenger seat had to go all the way forward for the sides to fit in. obviously you'll have to take them out of the boxes. keep the white wrapping material on.

I had to put the front bumper and back bumper pieces in first. I had put them on the left side in the trunk with one fender section inside the cabin, facing the left side back door (when facing the rear of the car). Then the two sides went in on the right side of the trunk.

Ta-da! All pieces made it home safe n' sound.

GL!

I did mine over the weekend myself. I thought it would take only a couple of hours. Like anything, it went into overtime. I spent 4 hours with the sides and front, then on Sunday another 2 hours on the rear. It's been cold here in NJ, so I used a hair dryer to heat up the taped areas.

Not bad for a noob.

Looks great!
