Post installed half my body kit

ended up ordering it from ahmotor.com. pretty good guys there

got it yesterday. the rear skirt was cracked on delivery. i was not there to refuse delivery. UPS is going to send some clown to my place to check it out (in case im attempting fraud i guess?)

anyway. i put on the sides and front. you guys made it sound really easy. i didnt find it too fun. ended up taking off the front bumper again

looks sweet. cant wait to get the rear skirt....

oh, for canadian users. DONT bother ordering it from the states. by the time you get to touch it, youll pay through the nose. your better off by getting it from the dealer

Ya it wasn't 'fun' but it wasn't all that hard. Bet it looks sweet!! You wouldn't have had to take off the bumper if you just cut off the front lip like I did.

Question

So you took off the front bumper to install the chin spoiler? How hard was it for the sides?

well, i wanted to keep all the factory peices.
i originally wanted to take off the front chin every winter. scratch that

ive taken the bumper off many times, so it was pretty easy

the sides - i had someone else push on the back side, and i pulled the front. took about 2 seconds. i tried 10 minutes by myself, it wouldnt budge

Not sure why everyone thinks you have to remove the front bumper. I did mine no problem just by removing the bottom lip on the bumper then clipping in the new front skirt.

Wow $260, I guess I won't be ordering anything from the states anytime soon!

Did the $260 include the GST & PST?
