Installed Shine RX8 Type-II Sidesteps

These are Model Shine RX8-SS-B
Very good fitment. Also love the fact they are black lol. They match great.
What you guys think?

In the middle by the doors is black electric tape I haven't taken it out, just had it there to hold them tight so the 3m double sided tape holds right.

I'm assuming you haven't painted them yet?

how are these installed? Double sided tape and a few screws in the wheel wells? Also, whats the paint application going to be like on this material? I hear its much more flexible than standard fiberglass. Also, how much was your final cost? How much was shipping? Looks hot on your car already!

I went to autozone and picked up some 3m DS tape. Also 1 screw on wheel well. took maybe 10-15 minutes per side to install really. Im not even sure about painted them right now because you really cant tell they are not painted.

The color matches with the car. You saved money on paint and labor...
