Best of luck, playa! Hope you remember to be really careful about getting the black or grey sealant on your chrome. If not, YOU'LL BE SOOOOOOOORRYYYYYYY!!!

And make sure to keep your parts labeled (in plastic bags if possible). Make sure you know where every screw/bolt goes. Trust me, it will save you some headache later on.

Good luck. And I hope you have enough time to finish both tonight. It took me 2 nights to get my spoiler on cause I was being extra careful.

You can't clean the grey adhesive off without stripping the chrome. It's a little worse than the black stuff, as Robbclark1 and I found out.

Yeah the alcohol worked fine with me and they are still looking good Definately worth it in the end, the people I know thought I was crazy trying these on a new car, but they were really surprised and at wow when I showed them the final project.

Well, all went well. I just finished up. Got the spoiler on, the euros in, and the headlights cleared. Not too bad at all. Euro's and spoiler were cake. kind of scary drilling holes in my hood though. Clearing the headlights was fun. I did get some black stuff on the chrome.......and my hands, jeans, face, dog. Man is that stuff sticky! Got it off with alcohol though. Speaking of alcohol, sivikchik, I didn't start intoxicating myself during the install. I think I only had three in the whole process. Now, I'll have one to relax before bed. The other's were to keep my mind sharp and able to do the job. Pics up in a bit.

Good job on the DIY, nothing more satisfying than knowing you did it yourself
