Default Depends on the kit

Some fit better than others. There can be a pretty big variance here. And then it needs to be painted, too. Your best bet would be to have a good shop do it for you.

Default Sideskirts are a piece of cake

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/28938/audiside.jpg"></center><p>You just drill a couple holes into the wheelwell and screw holes into the sidskirts to hold in place. I used some double sided foam tape and stuck it on the inside of the sideskirt so it rested snug on the step. I've seen on honda civics that you could drill holes into the top so it'll stay more secure. But if you have fiberglass or anything that isn't ABS plastic it could crack and fall off. BTW I have the reiger RS4 kit. The rear valence was pretty simple too you just replace the black one. It should have tabs to fit right in where the old ones did.
