Great Day for Rear Aero Flares!!!!

So...I decided to get off of my *** and install these Rear Aero Flares...I have been ridiculously anxious because the Shine Auto kit came in and I have to wait for the body shop to get their **** together. It is the Burnout replica front lip and sideskirts.

It took me about 4 hours because I really took my time with it. This was my first time removing the bumper myself on this car...so I didn't want to screw it up. Body shop was going to charge a shitload because you have to remove the rear bumper to do it, so hell nahz. I learned alot...and I also learn that a fastener remover is like handheld sex. Saved me a bunch of time and clips. Enjoy!



My assistant - Ebony






The clip nut you have to put on the bumper is the biggest **** I have dealt with in the entire install. In fact...I have to go back and fix it.



Finished!!!!!!!

Yeah...I realized i could have AFTER I took the bumper off. The instructions were God awful so I could have probably just winged it to be honest.

Good experience though....thanks for the comments...

I will update the thread when I get the Shine Auto kit on...the other box in that picture is the Evo-R trunk lip. Should be awesome. Can't wait.

Thanks...I keep forgetting to take that off...kinda hard dealing with some of the extremist here in southwestern VA.

It has been called a Socialist RX-8 before...sad.

ANYWAY...not sparking a political debate, the sticker is there to remind me that it is always time for change with the car, and therefore validates my purchases.
