I would consider doing it yourself if it's just the carbon pieces. It's not like he has to paint or mold stuff in so not sure why it would cost $750 lol

I was about to say F Y:mad:U straight to his face. the guy I bought it from had a shop install it for $100 and it took them 2 hours, so basically I'm still looking for a place or I'm considering doing it myself.

But anyways idk if I'll make it out this week to the meet, we'll see.

Yeah forget that place. One thing is fitment isn't perfect so aside from the existing holes where I will drill in the screws there will also need to be some adhesive of some kind to help with gaps. The first owner said they used silicon and the shop I went to yesterday said they would use 40-40? So I've got some researching to do, but also a lot of guys recommend taking the front bumper off when installing the front lip to make it a little easier to install, and the skirts replace the factory skirts so after I'm done breaking all the clips that hold the stickers in place I don't know what to use to put the new ones back on. I'll figure it out.

I just mean any time from now until the show lol.

There are just some gaps here and there if you don't use a good adhesive. I believe the front lip will be the worst as far as that goes but I'm not sure till I get it up to my bumper for install.

it should be fine then. i dont know why they would suggest silicone, as that wouldnt really hid the gap, unless they used it to force the gap closed, which we could do.

@nina, I work til nine monday wednesday and friday now...so :P

Yeah to force the gap closed. I guess it's strong enough cause it took off some of the guys paint when they took it off. But this 40-40 stuff the guy was talking about yesterday is supposed to be stronger. Idk uuugghh.
