Woah

I finished about 80% of the install with my friend today, took us the whole day but we wired the LED controller in teh car to the battery...

also mounted the side skirts tubes and connected them, got the back one in place.

the hardest part it seems like is finding a decent spot for the front one, perhaps a dremmel may need to be purchased to complete this task

one complication we found is we're not getting enuff reach of teh rear tube's wire, we need one more foot so we may hav to try re-running this cable.

all-in-all this has been the biggest pain in the ___ install ever!

I'll post pics when its done, but the side skirts at least look really nice at night, just need to plug in the back and put the front one on...

Should be doing my install next weekend, so a late reminder bumb for anyone with pictures of the front bar install.

Side and back seem to be made to measure with existing places to mount or zip tie.

Show me your fronts !

Mike, How did you attach these, did you just screw straight up into the plastic ? What is this plastic piece.

I'll be starting my install when it stops raining here in the NE.

I've got dremmel in hand for the front one (I'll have to see where I can fit it around my remote radar unit that's on the plastic floor pan).

Site ones I'm putting like the above shot, if i can work out what it is and if it's safe to screw into.

Back one looks a breeze.

The kit I have has wires that are made up of 5 wires with rectangular plugs - I'm hoping the back one is long enough to get reach into the engine - hmmm).

Still waiting for a couple of bits that feel off my kit "in transit'.

Anyone with any more underbody shots of underbody kits, please post.


Ohhh one final thing, the side ones I have are maybe 2" shorter than the side skirt (they are 4") what do people think, center them, up front, or towards the back.

Ohh Also, your personal preference, angle them inwards (under the car), straight down, or out a little way.

I'm leaning towards dead center and straight down.

You could try to use any existing holes and zip ties or maybe double-sided 3M tape but I don't know how well that would hold up to the all of the elements under a car...drilling small holes for either screws or zip ties would be your best bet.
