I have seen red and black sides on ebay several times. I have a SS 8 and couldn't find jack. I got really lucky after posting a WTB thread on here after 4-5 times.

The fronts have clips & 3M tape. I'm only going to use the tape cause I dont want to drill holes in my ride. The bottom and backs are held on using stock clips and screws. I have heard mixed reviews about only using the tape up front....some say it works and others have complained about a gap over time.

I think I'm going to use an adhesion promoter prior to attaching them. Body shops use it to reglue moldings onto cars after repairs. Since I do a lot of business with body shops obtaining some will not be a problem. I was given a demonstration by one of the shops. They glued a pen to a damaged hood and asked me to pull it off after 5 mins. It took everything I had to get it off...I was like D@#N that's some good $#!+.

legendkurado, the lip looks great. That is by far my favorite aftermarket body part for the 8 and I certainly want one. I think it's subtle enough that it will look great with just aero flares and front splash gaurds (I was kind of planning on doing that myself).

Valentine's Idea

It's not too late. ^^^^^

Go find the nearest/nicest day-spa and get her a gift certificate for a massage/facial/manicure/pedicure, whatever. If you have an idea how much you'd like to spend, they can help you out with the rest. The one I did actually put the certificate in a gift back and a bow on it. YMMV and you may have to handle that part on your own. Other than that, she'll never know you only did this today, and it's original, and she's almost certain to love it.

Hope it works out for you.

Michael

Yellow Pages

Hit the yellow pages, I GUARANTEE you there are probably several in your area. Of course you don't know of any. GUYS don't use that sort of place very much. But if you get a phone book out, you'll be all set.

Hope it works out....

No need

It's "in the bag" if you can just find the spa. You'll do great.

I think 1stGen made a mistake. The front mud guards are cheap ~ $77 but the rear aero flares sells for about the same price as the side aero flares at $220. I hope he bought the "rear" and sides for $225 shipped otherwise it's not such a great price.

I don't have the rear aeros. The dearelship I bought my rear muds from charged me $80 for them. I know I got cheated out of a few bucks but I got them very quick. I know you can get the rears from Rosenthal for $65 but you still have to pay shipping. I think I got a great deal on the stock sides and front muds as I only paid $225 shipped.
