Anyone know how to install these?







I got them yesterday and want to pop them on, but there's no instructions at all. I'm not exactly a body mechanic so I cant just make this stuff up as I go

Any tips would be great !!

Nice addiction to your mods... they will look hot

well... hopefully it will fit up perfect and you wont have to do any trimming,shaving, etc....

Does it have any pre drilled holes? or maybe indents on where the holes should be?

Hmm, not really... The front lip seems to have a spot where it slides under the rotor crest and the two little plastic "support beams" on the stock front piece... Other than that it's all flat.

I'm guessing they will need to be drilled and fitted at a body shop?

Sucks, because I want to do it myself

Have a reputable shop do it, you won't regret it. You don't want to lose your investment at 70MPH (I learned this the hard way years ago).

Hmm...

Yeah, sounds like a plan..

I wish there was a great shop around here that did wiring AND body work. I need to install my subs too, but I'm so lazy..

Subs are easy. Call around to the local car clubs (real classic car clubs, not ricer clubs) and see who they recommend. My guy works for a Ford dealer by day and works his magic in his own paint booth at home by night.

Hehe, I don't really know any ricers

I have a local RX8 club here with some good sponsors I think I could visit though.

Thanks for the tips, but yeah it looks like it needs to be drilled in and installed professionally.

I think they are Auto Exe replica, right?

Well I am almost in same situation here.
I bought 2nd hand rear CF splitter from a member here.
I have no idea how to put it on....
Anyone can help us?

These are what they should look like. (Pixs from Japanparts.com)

The front lip goes over that little strip just under the rotor crest....then if its pre-drilled...it should come with a screw and lock thingie...hahaha i wish i had pix to show you but its really simple...

ok i dont think im helping hahahaha...mine came with instructions and it was pre-drilled so it took 5 min to install...

I wish it WAS pre-drilled..

Focusing on getting a vehicle inspection done, the pigs thought my car was too loud, so I need to take everything illegal off it .

After that, I'll install these and post up some pics

Hmm you would have thought the Seibon Pieces were pre-drilled.

Can't wait to see some pics installed, I am liking you car more and more everyday.

I think I am beginning to fall in love with CF.

Ditto my man,

I think I'll wait till that sexy unique bumper comes in before I post up any install pics though .

It's in winter mode anyways, the wheels are going off soon and I need to get it back to stock for a vehicle inspection, so you may need to wait.

I have the ori Autoexe version fitted to my 8. Very easy to install as it comes pre-drilled for the front lip. 1 bolt on each side which fits directly into stock clip mounts (replace clip with nut 'n' bolt). Sides are even easier to install. Only need to drill 1 self tapping screw hole on the back underside of the skirts and 3M doubleside tape the rest.


Installed the kit myself.

tubing get back to me please, im about to get this and wanna know if YOU know how to install this bad boy already.
