You could always post in the regional forum and see if someone locally would be willing to help with the install. I'm sure its a very straight forward install, but an extra set of hands would help.

Thanks for the idea. Anyone know if you do have to drill into your bumpers for this.

You don't have to drill into your bumper. There is a member here who didn't drill into his bumper, instead he just used more adhesive.

The base instructions are the same as the Type-S ones. If you're buying it brand new they are included with the kit. Yes you do have to drill into your bumpers to install it properly. The provided zip tie fasteners and bolts will ALWAYS hold better than 3M tape over time. Its not too hard - I had never done anything like it before, and I did the install by myself in only a few hours.

Yes...Thats why we have instructions right?? So we can follow them....Seriously though, it's not as hard as it sounds. With practice, you'll be able to remove each bumper in only a few minutes.

Where did you get the kit?

I've been looking around for a CBP a spec (not the type s version) kit.

Acktl said that he doesn't have the sides for it and its hard to find people shipping to Hawaii. Any help is appreciated.
