Just finished L-tuned sideskirts and grill. 5 minutes for the grill. Sideskirts a little harder, Broke everyone of the black fasteners along the bottom of sideskirts. I guess the older the car the more brittle they are and the easier they break., the new kit comes with new ones. One problem I had was getting the front two bottom clips to stay in. It seems as though the new sideskirt comes down too far and now the clips are too short. If anyone else had this problem let me know.

I had the same problem on the driver's side. I just left them out. I think the last 2 should have been about another 1/4" longer. Anyway, the skirt is very secure w/o the last two pins. btw, all the pins on the passenger side fit in just fine...go figure

Yeah I think I will buy some about a 1/2'" longer. The ones that come with the kit just fall out in the front two holes.

My grill and sideskirts came in one big box with the grill in its own box inside the big box. The clips were in the box with the grill.

naw my grill shipped seperate when i got the box i was looking Like wtf is my grill so i called darrell and he said it shipped seperate because alot of the grills get damaged when shipping in the big box BUT what got me about the whole situation was that it took a week for my kit (sideskirts) to reach me in CT, and if he shipped my kit out WHY didn't he ship the grill out the same day or even the NEXT day at the latest he waited until I CONTACTED hit b4 he sent the grill out which ment i had to wait another few days b4 i got the grill BUT it was only the grill in the box nothing else!!!


I have been holding this comment in since i received the kit BUT to me.......it seemed like he was trying to see WHAT i knew maybe cuz i was a female but i dunno, cuz when i called about the grill, he shipped it off that day i called and not when he shipped the sideskirts......which seemed a lil odd to me! Then he never email or called me back on like 2 different occasions......BUT i dunno i dont want to pass judgment on him, his service was so-so with me!!!

BUT ANYWAY, so what EXACTLY is suppost to be included so i can send him a email for the missing parts!! PLEASE list all parts!!

Thanks

The kit I received contained 2 side skirts and bag of clips in one box and the grill in another box.
There were no instructions included but that's ok...there are plenty of cl threads on how to install.
I got my kit from Darrell back in Nov. Side skirts first (with clips) Grill came about a week later. At the time I ordered from them, they were swamped. When I spoke with Darrell back in Nov, their shop was painting side skirts first in batches, then grills. Thus two separate shipments.

Darrell can be hard to reach sometimes, but he is always easy and knowledgable to deal with. he'll make good for ya once you talk to him.

When I had to get ahold of Darrell, I had better luck calling in the morning between 8 and 9 cst
If you get his voice mail, hang up and try again in 10-15 min intervals (assuming he's in of course)
