I just got my fx side skirts and wing inlast monday. well I went to a body shop today and to have it installed and painted they said would be around $1,000. So I'm going to wait and see if I can't just install it myself. If anybody can give many any information or instructions on how I might do this it would be greatly appreciated. <P>thanx in advace!

Heres what you do!!!! Cruize on your local strip. Meet some of the people there and get to know them for a few months. Then after you get to be friends tell them hey I got some side skirts and a wing I need painted on... Usally they will do it for cost of supplies and a case of beer. Least thats how they do it around here. Just be sure they dont have to many beers BEFORE they start working.

took me about 5-6 hours to get it on straight and nicely.. Words of advice.. Silicone, screws, drills and lots of putty to fill your screw holes in.

Especially since i got a paint job on the whole car just a couple months ago!<BR> thanx for all the posts later!
