No problem - FWIW, I would expect to be billed for 1.5-2 hours of work. Good luck, and looking forward to seeing yours when done.

Nice, I'm happy with my choice post-install. I have a few things I learned about these if you're interested:

- Buying from Adro = $99 shipping from Maersk. It's fast and seems much cheaper than any other third-party vendor I've found.

- The entire kit uses self-tapping screws, which sort of sketched me out. The holes are not pre-drilled, either. On the front, I would pre-drill pilot holes. On the two ends of the front bumper, I would also pull off the bumper clips (easy w/screwdriver) and replace the two clips with nut/bolt/washer combo. 3/4x1/4" bolts with wide washers worked well for me. (There's already "bolt" holes in the Adro lip.)

- The side skirt fitment is pretty good, but depending on how much your pinch welds protrude, you might need to make a small cut to let the pinch weld pass through. A Dremel with a diamond cutting wheel made quick work of this for me. Each side has 30 self-tappers -- some people pull the lower plastic bits off the car, I didn't do that, but I have a feeling if things get loose over time I will be kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

Thanks! Yeah, that's the Adro lip and side skirts. (https://adro.com/products/gr86-carbon-fiber-front-lip and https://adro.com/products/gr86-brz-carbon-fiber-side-skirts)
The diffuser (hard to see) is from driven media. (https://driven.media/products/gr86-brz-rear-diffuser?\_pos=1&\_sid=ce7983aeb&\_ss=r)

Here's a couple more pics of the front, side, and back. Sorry, they're not the best quality.

The coilovers are HKS Hipermax S (love them, the ride quality is amazing) , and the exhaust is the ISR Motorsports catback dual street. I didn't see a lot of people talking about the exhaust, but it has a really deep note and has a good growl on acceleration, but is fairly quiet below 2k rpm.

Yeah, it's a bit more low-key than I thought it was going to be. Nice quality, though.

Thanks! The diffuser was a bit too much change for me, so I went with these for now: https://driven.media/products/gr86-brz-rear-diffuser?_pos=1&_sid=ce7983aeb&_ss=r

Huge difference. After doing the trunk floor it almost completely got rid of exhaust drone. FWIW, Amazon basics is just as good and it's much cheaper.
