Default C5Z Front Valences...

I just bought all three of the plastic deals beneath the front of the car. THe one that bends in and the two outers. Before I crawl under there, how are these installed? Anyone?

The middle one is easy. There are a couple of spring-loaded cables on the back side. Unhook the springs (carefully) and the whole thing pops out. Transfer the hardware to the new part and then reinstall.

The sides are screwed in with sheet metal screws to inserts. Don't remember if they are torx or phillips but easy enough as long as your front end is straighter than mine.

Email me if you are in SoCal (Norco is where my shop is.) If you are, I'll run your car up on my alignment rack and do it for you. Should take a half hour or so.
