I guess with the import issues and the credit card charge it's more involved than I thought.

OK, sorry for the delay. It's rough finding time around the holidays and the install took a little longer than expected. It wasn't hard but the instructions are in japanese so I wanted to double think everything before I did it. Also, there was a minor fitment problem with the sideskirts...more details on that later.

Here's a blurry picture of where the license plate bracket is mounted to the bumper. SKiDaZZLe mentions this in one of his threads.

Under the front bumper. This piece gets removed by about 15 screws and 1 lonely clip.

Under the door sill. About 8 clips and 8 screws to remove the sill on each side. Not hard at all.

Sorry, I dropped the ball on this one. This was supposed to be the front view with the bumper removed but you can't see much.

So the spoiler will be done on Monday but the car will be getting orange and black Katzkin seat covers and then the car goes to the body shop to get all the parts buffed out. When I get the car back Thursday or Friday I will install the spoiler (the best part in my opinion), clean the car, and take some good pics of the finished product.
