Happy to report that aero kit was delivered today. I examined all the pieces and they seem to be good quality. sturdy and well-made. I haven't started the install yet. Have to find a body shop to paint the pieces first.

BalX5: These are the 3 types of screws that came with the kit. I know that self-tapping screws are the middle one, but did you use the long one on the left and the short ones on the right during your install?

The aftermarket kit came with extra rivets and screws that are not needed. In fact I still have half a bag left in the garage. The rivet on the left is not needed but for the rear I used like 4 of the short ones for the center, but not neccassary.

Wanted to share my weekend DIY with folks.

I got my paint done at a local body shop. Just call around your area as the $$$ will range from $250-$450 depending. If you add all the pieces together its is not more than a full bumper to paint and prep.
