Side Skirts

Without having looked, are the aero side skirts an easy bolt-on installation?

Thanks,
Scott

From what I hear it is pretty simple, mostly clips.

Screws on underside the whole length. Have to pull back the sill plate to expose some sacrificial one time push rivets. Then you have to pull away the sill destroying all the sacrificial snap clips. Remove the dead snaps from their holes. Fitting the new ones is easier. Paint will be the biggest challenge if you find someone who will sell you just the sills. I've got some pictures here of me fitting mine:
