the side skirts were easy. i didnt get the front on yet. i went to Sears, Home Depot, and the auto supply store & i cant find a metric bit set. they all just have standard & even though some of the standard sets also have metric measurements, they are a bit off like, 5.8 & 6.35mm. wut should i do? where can i get the right thing? i need 3,6,&10mm.

I used 1/8 for 3mm, 1/4 for 6mm and 3/8 for 10mm.
Do a google search for "fraction inch to millimeter conversion".
Thats how I figured it out.
Good luck!

Me, too. I've already priced an install at the dealer and my cousin's body shop. This is one of my planned spring upgrades. Already have the wheels/tires and Comptech RSB, they are awaiting install. Now I just need this and some tint.

the cost of 3 drill bits, a bottle of rubbing alcohol & a beer cuz i did it myself. The kit came the day after i got my car which may explain y the paint match is right on.
some people had issues with the color match & 3m tape- none here

I really hope they do another group buy. There are fare prices on ebay for this kit, however if given the choice I would buy from a forum member as opposed to a dealer.

In this case...one in the same! The forum vendor is a dealer! All good and safe OEM parts!

Good enough

We'll run the Group Buy again for one week. Please bear in mind that all orders placed before 3 PM EST on Thurs Feb 2 will ship out on Monday Feb 6th.

I'll be reducing the price to reflect the Group Buy now.
