Default Spats installation?

Thinking of replacing stock spats on my 2019 GS with Carbon Flash ones from ACS. How difficult is it to remove the stock ones and replace with the new ones??
Thanks
Fred

Really easy. Each just takes minutes. Just make sure everything is aligned to your liking before pulling off the tape and committing the install. Toughest part for me was removing the tape from the originals to resell them.

I just ordered a carbon flash set from Southern Car Parts - here is the video I will be using when the parts come in:

Very easy. I just installed them on mine. Only takes a few minutes and they look really good. ACS has an installation video on their site.

Should look great when you get it done. Post up some pics of your de/reinstall when you get time. Some of us may need inspiration to tackle this project.
