Just install my Kit and got some ???s

After the long awaited for the UPS truck today. I finnally got my kit and got it install.
First of all, let me start with the weather. It about 28 degree out there. In the morning there's some flurries but thats no biggy.
So after i unpacked the package, i start to take off the mudguards. The rear ones are a pain in the nuts because i didnt take the wheels off. Then i started on what i thought it's the easiest, the sideskirts. Man, these sh*t are like the hardest thing. They wont come off!! So i go ahead and start on the bumper. I didnt know how put on the clips in the middle part. so i just screw on the three screws on the side. Can someone post pics of the clips?? Then the front piece which i though it would be the hardest. But it turns out to be the easiest thing. Just drill the screw rite in the bumper. Takes me about 15min including jacking up the car. Now back to the sideskirts. These sh*ts wont come out!!! After i heard a crack in my back i decided to give my Nephew a call. We both puliing those sh*ts like crazy. Finnaly came off.
I will post pic later next week when i wash the car and find somewhere to get a nice shot.
Once again, Can someone take Pics of how their clip in the middile part of the bumper looks?? Thanks

As for those metal clips. You'll need to get your hand inside the bumper and slide the clips in. You should know how. Once it's in, the bolts will screw right into them.

It's pretty self explanatory as you stare at the bottom of your bumper.

For the side skirts you should've used like a 2x4 stuck it between the skirt and wheel and just pull it off. I used a MagLite and it came off easily.

How old is your car? Doing that bodykit while the car is still new does make a difference. Once things get a bit weathered, they are sometimes hard to come off. I got my bodykit on within a month of getting the car. Those original side skirts came right off.
