Yeah, save yourself the trouble and heartaches and pay someone WHATEVER THEY WANT to install it, no matter what the cost! I tried to install one in the rear, screwed it up and had to buy another one at which time I had a local corvette shop do the install. Cost was based on time-time to bend over and grin and bear it-LOL. What took them hours(3-4) would have taken me the same number of days not to mention how many more I would have screwed up by cutting to much trying to make it fit properly. This way, if they screw up, THEY have to buy another one and get it right; not you.
Think real hard about this one...

I agree. 21st Century Musclecars in Dallas did mine. Andy at 21CMC fabricated them so no holes had to be drilled in the body. All attachments are to inner fender and rear valance

I have done 2 sets and to tell you the truth they were both different

You basically have to hand shape them and overall thak a 1/4 in off them.

Here are some pics of mine .

I am trying to writeup sort of an iinstall guide but they truely are custom.
I wish i could make a template and have these things mass produced by an injection moulding company.
