best advice is the way the stock ones come off is the same way the TPE ones will mount. You do not have to worry about the radio antenna on the coupe, but you can mount the ant inside the rear bumper on the Z/Vert without reception issues.
Also, on the right fender there is a ground strap that will most likely break, so be ready to strip the wire and add a new fish-eye electrical connector.
Besides that, it is a straight forward mod. Hope this helps and good luck. Post pics when finished...

Ha, ok, now I don't feel so bad about that happening to me while I was fixing my antenna the other day!

I got tpe and they are easy to install. first build the fenders with back bumper off the car and take off all lights and wheel wells. make sure the tpe fenders are lined up with the back bumper as straight as can be and install the fenders and back bumper to the car(bring friends or extra hands) to help you cause you will need to play and jigle with them to get them in place. Next put the srews that go behind the doors but dont thighten all the way. Put the screws the rear deck area and line it up and thighten all screws. It aint hard but take your time and get help so it will be easier for you. Good luck and post some pics

You've got to tell me where you got the Rear Diffuser, the Side Splitters, and the Front Splitter--hell anything that has carbon fiber!
