Default Installation on L-Sportline Side Skirts

Hey guys,
Wanted to know if anyone has picks or illustrations on how to put the L-Sportline Side Skirts on. Close up pictures of the side skirts installation would be nice. Can this be installed by an individual or does it need to be taken to a professional? The reason I ask that is beacuse when I got my Greddy Gracier Front Lip, they tried to charge me $100.00 to install that. I said no way. It only took 5-10 minutes to install that lip. It came with instructions and the lip snapped in. And it required one screw to be screwed in on both sides.
I am picky about peoples work. I believe in quality work. So I am doing some research before I hand it over to a bodyshop. I just want to make sure they are going to do it right the first time around and not the second. Plus, I don't want several holes drilled. I want it to look flawless. I believe the side skirts should be pre-fitted before it is sent to be painted. Plus on the l-sportline side skirts, there are no pre-drilled holes in it. Does this mean the holes have to be drilled? Also the stock side skirts has to be removed, correct?
Just being catious. Hope you guys can help? Or recommend me to a body shop near by my area that has installed L-sportline Kits before.

Unless you changed parts, he is asking about the L-Sportline andyou have the L-Tuned.

I have not seen a writeup on the L-Sportline sides.

Sorry guys...But the install should be about the same i would think... Undo the screws, new clips, and take off the F&R panels? Maybe that will help....

Taking apart the old ones is the same. How the L-Sportline bolts up is the question. I don't have the answer as I have not put one of those on. L-Tuned parts were engineered to fit and install easily with the cars. Aftermarket ones are not always the same but again, this is with other manufacturers. I don't know about the L-Sportline. It may be the same.
