LOL, I don't have time to do it on my own. It's easier for me to pay, no sweat off my back, you know?

Your rear bumper is almost exactly what I paid for mine and your front seemed like the normal price. Its just the side skirts were almost twice as much is what didn't make sense.

Tell me about it, it was the last set, was discontinued and that was the system price. Sucks!

Possibly -- but I honestly don't have time. I have a busy work, travel schedule. It's much easier for me to drop a car off, come back pay money and leave. I write everything off, plus I have a car expense account. It's literally almost nothing out of my pocket.

Just lay the vinyl over the pillar and use an xacto knife to trim.
