side and rear aero flares installed

I just got done installing my side and rear aero flares this weekend. I was going to bring it to a body shop but I figured I would give it a try. It was a lot easier than I thought. The DIY directions were great from our site and the template was flawless.
Next weekend, the front air dam.

Heres some pics.







BTW I did not put on the foam washers on the 1 screw in the wheel well and the 1 pop screw underneath and I was curious if you really need those.

thanks in advance.

You should also get the front mudflaps, I think they really complete the car.
