My 2012 FX50S w/ OEM Body Kit Pics

^ agree! But now I'm also debating on the rest of the kit or not. Tough call!

Looks like the side sills cover all the black plastic, correct?
 
That's what I thought but that would mean that the dealer never gave me the old plastic trim back...so I guess I'm not 100% sure now. I thought they "clipped" in from the underside and covered the original plastic...I'll go out to my car and see if I can tell...

I can't tell but when I compare old pics vs. new pics of my car it definitely looks like they replace the old ones...
 
Either replaced or covered over? I'd be surprised if anything of the car is removed to install the kit. Most likely it covers the original.

The plastic piece is actually taken off and replaced with the new side stills.

You must remove the factory side sill protectors and replace them with the Aero side sill protectors

You must also remove the stock factory under door moldings on the front and rear doors and then replace them with the Aero under door moldings.

I checked it out on the Aero Installation Instructions which I have sitting in front of me.

I noted that you posted the instructions for the front spoiler. Do you mind posting the instructions for the side sills, skirt and rear protectors. That would be amazing if you haven't already done so. Thanks in advance!

I'm not installing the side sills but I am installing the rear aero under protector as soon as it warms up here.

I do have copies of all the instructions though. I will post them up later.

Thanks buddy. I'm signing the paperwork for a 2013 LE today and this is going to be my first mod!

Finally got it all done. I opted to paint over the chrome on the side skirts since the chrome that came on the side skirts did not match the "black chrome" of the side fender vent that came with my Sport model...I like the look ! OK...so I can't post my pics/attachments...if anyone is willing would you mind ? I have 6 low-res pics...I can email them to you...or is there a different way to post pics ?

Really like your ride! Hoping to do something similar with the side skirts then paint the front grill and side vents black. Did you have any issues painting the chrome on the side skirts? I was told the needed to come off to do so and might break if we try taking them off... Thanks!!!
 
I really like your FX ! I came to this forum because of you :) Sooooo need this front splitter... :( Cheers !
