Help - Is it easy to install arches/skirts?

I recently ordered painted arches and all skirts (all 8 pieces of black trim) and was wondering about the difficulty level of doing the install myself. Anyone done this themselves before or can someone point me to a diy on NAM?

Thx!

The $850 for painted seems really good for 8 pieces! Be sure to post some pics!

Is that with the shipping?

Hi, I tried to find you a DIY link but no luck. You might try asking the owners in this thread https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...t=install+aero

Good Luck!

Do you have to send them your stock parts in exchange?
