Thanks, that'd be great. Assuming you know what you're doing or it might be the blind leading the blind : )

Name the time and place!

I can help you guys out. Williocom can vouch that I can take apart stuff and put it back together without breaking anything.

Yep. Luc is great. I have the rear perf spoiler, I am just waiting on the grills, gilles, and reflectors but those I should be able to do myself. Really just want the help with the rear spoiler. I can meet up one night after work this week if that works for you guys.

Luc, Do you also recommend Betalink or 3M for the rear spoiler install?

I only use 3M...I stay away from betalink because it's messy and permanent. The M perf spoilers seem to come with 3M pre-applied now so I'd just go with that. I'm free after 5 all this week so just let me know.

I can do either. I am in Alexandria. I also have a nice guest parking lot behind my building where we could set up shop if that works for you guys.

How did things go?

Waiting for my M4 to arrive - patiently (haha)

Looking to do the same thing (except spoiler) installing the grill/side markers/ and reflector delete upon arrival.

Were you all successful?

expect the reflector delete to be a bit of a challenge based on earlier posts.

any comments to share would be appreciated.

Prepare to break your fingers. Watch out for the cameras when doing the side reflectors if you got that option.

Yep - have the side cameras - did you guys come up with a "best practice" for this during your session?

Definitely would appreciate any advice!

Thanks!
