I received it from [MENTION=22464]Meraki Autoworks[/MENTION]. They had by far the best price shipped, and I had it at my door in about three days iirc. I don't want to quote the price on here, but it wasn't bad, and I am sure if you tell Joshua, of whom I dealt with I sent you, he will extend the same offer.

Install was easy. I did it solo, but it would have been nice to have had a friend hold some stuff for me...cough..cough..

Anyway..

  1. First I Pre-assembled everything.
  2. Next I removed the lower trunk mounting plates and used a small piece of 3m double side tape to tape them into position on the arms connected to the wings. I made sure that all of the holes lined up.
  3. Then I applied tape to the bottom of the plates where they will make contact with the deck lid.
  4. Then I set the wing assembly onto the deck and took about 4 measurements from different areas to make sure that it was exactly where I wanted it.
  5. Next I pressed down on the plates so that the double side tape would bond to the deck, and I pulled the wing struts away from the plates, leaving the plates in position on the rear deck.
  6. I then took more measurements making sure that nothing shifted. Then marked the holes.
  7. Now was the scary part. I used a hole punch to dimple where I was going to drill, and then drilled pilot holes all the way through from the top of the deck to and through the interior of the deck. (Have the deck lid lifted ever so slightly, as you don't want to drill through the weather stip)
  8. Now that this was done, I took a step bit and made the appropriate sized holes on the top and bottom.
  9. I now removed all of the double side tape from everything and assembled it onto the rear deck.
  10. Be careful not to over tighten the bolts as the aluminum skin of the deck lid will start to warp. Also, use loctite on all of the threads. Step back and have a bottle of your favorite craft beer.

    Cheers!

Didn't do anything to it but I did order a PMAS intake with VMP tuning incoming. Can't wait to get them installed!

I did exactly the same thing. It took 4 coats and i find that it cleaned up great after all the ash from the Thomas fire with a wet microfiber covered sponge.

LOL too funny, but they do look great, even with the "ricey" sticker. Sounds like they are applied with two sided tape. Do they feel secure and solid once taped or do they have a little play? Concerned that they might come loose over time with washing etc.? Your thoughts? :cheers:
