Installation was easy for me as mine had a set previously. There is a plastic hinge that goes under the trim at the top so you would have to remove the trim to install that. On mine the hinge was broke and I fabbed a new one from piano hinge stock we had at work. I attached that to what was left. It is all metal and or stainless now. Should last alot longer. The side pieces just slide under the trim with some new 3M adheasive under the tops of them. I purchased them from "Olde4r Than Dirt" here on the forum. Maybe someone else will see this post and offer up a set to you. That is basically how I got mine.

By the way, Your car looks great from what I've seen sofar.
