Install them myself or the Dealer?

I'm picking up my Titanium Gray next week from the dealer but I already purchased some strakes and front splash guards from Trussville. Funny that I have accesories for my car but no car yet. Do you think I should have the dealer install the strakes and guards for me upon delivery of my car providing it's free of charge or for a small fee since it won't take them that long to install plus they have the proper tools for installation or should I install them myself? What do you guys think? And if so what's a good way to pursuade the dealer to install them for me.

right after i took delivery, i got the same accessories for my 8. Putting on the strakes and the splash guards were simple, only took me an hour. The parts come with easy to follow instructions and all you need is a screwdriver. good luck on that and enjoy your 8 when it comes in....

Think of it this way - try and do it yourself to start with. You'll likely be able to realize if you're in over your head pretty quickly after looking at the parts and what needs to be done.

But, I don't think you'll have much of a problem - should be pretty easy. Just take your time and go slow, and you'll be fine.
