I installed the aero kit and I was wondering if the wheel well trim is suppose to go over the screws or under?

- For the rear I manage to screw the wheel well trim over the lip but the side skirt and front lip doesn't look like it would work. For the front, there's a screw but it doesn't seem to screw into anything because there is no hole on the wells if it goes over it.. I have a few pictures below..

What did you guys do?

How you have it on the front is how mine was installed on my since departed 2010 CBP. Mine was installed by the dealer.

Really? It looks bare and out of place with the lip sticking out of the wheel well with nothing covering it... strange design

It does look weird but if you followed the DYI instructions per Acura then it should be correct. Seems like it's supposed to go under though.

^^ well, my dealership installed it incorrectly as mine doesn't look like that at all and looks much cleaner. So I am glad they messed up is all I can say.

Here is mine:

The OP's is a 09-11 model and yours is a 12 that's why they look different.

I believe it's the rear has a metal bracket on both sides that you bolt to the Bodykit and that bracket bolts to the car where the old stuff bolts up...

The rear I have it screwed against the wheel well trim, but the fronts are weird. The upper most screw is not screwed into anything but the end of the screw is just against the wheel well trim..
