Type R Kit for Coupes?

I bought the type r kit from tornactive. I know the side skirts are made for the sedan but can be made to fit the coupes... i think FlexEX has experimented with it..but i can't get ahold of him...I am just wondering what sort of modification is necessary...does anyone know?

I called Rob w/ tornactive, (had to talk to him anyway).....he said they're the same exact size (l,w,h).....but the brackets are different......you had to hook em' up dif. w/ the coupe than the sedan......you might have to re-drill holes......(sure you already knew).......but anyhow......
Goodluck...

The car look different, but the wheelbase is the same and the sedan weighs about 14 pounds more.

Ok i just got them and took them outside to investigate...i did a test fit... I took the drivers side skirt and attached the front to the two bottom most screws in the fenderwell..all seemed well. then i tried to attach the back...but there is no where to screw it to... ...also it seemed some of my sheetmetal is pushed out too far, i have to bend the plastic to get it to fit.. i think i'll have to bend the sheetmetal a little bit to get it to fit right... but i think it will work out ok.. i'll figure something out

yeah i'm having my body pro look at it...there's a body shop next door to me...i talked to him about it and he said he'd help me do it...i suggested the idea of using one of those vice grips made for welding...one that holds two pieces of metal flat against each other...it has sort of a really wide end on it and that would be my brake....just needs a *tiny* amount of moving....he said that's exactly what he would do...
