Thanks everyone.

The best part of the install was when I got all of the fasteners out. I called the wife to the garage to help me pull the rear off the car. We each got on one side holding the spoiler, at which point she looks over at me and says "You have to promise me that no matter what happens you won't yell at me."

I'll get better pics of the diffuser, splitter and skirts (all CF from WeaponX) when it quits raining here later this week.
Great pics, thanks. What "adjustments" were needed?

Nope. Many times over many years on many cars I've built and restored.

Just some filing and cleaning up of tabs and holes on the outside lower edges. Minor stuff.
