Or if someone can lead me in the right direction with maybe a previous forum listing I might have missed...that'd be helpful too haha.
Questions on installing TRD action package...
I bought a pair of authentic TRD side skirts and a rear valence off of a member off here about a month ago, used of course. I'm probably going to do an install of them on my stock GT-S within the next few weeks, so before then,I want to make sure I'm completely ready. Question is, does anyone know where I can find any install sheets for the side skirts and valance? I'd just like to know what the parts came with new to ease this installation, and hopefully find the miscellaneous things needed for a snug fit such as weather stripping, or if bolts, nuts, plugs are needed. I think the side skirts would just replace the stock ones correct? Just reusing the things holding the stock skirts would be sufficient? Finally, what would be the best way to approach installing the rear valance?

I think most (if not all) sideskirts are installed over the original ones. My Kam ones are attached to the stock ones at each end (in the wheel well) and you could use some 3M double sided tape to hold down the extended portions of the TRD ones that go up the side of the car.
You have to remove the stock sides to install the authentic trd sides.
uninstall stock sides, put double sided tape on the trd sides and use self taping screws on both ends on the sides to keep them in place and you do this pretty much to the rear too

i edited my post you have all you need there., the parts #'s are all listed try to get em from home depot or something might be cheaper, also many people put a rubber between the trd rear and back bumper,, look into that
Yeah I saw some earlier posts dating back to 2009 about some weather stripping to put between the kit and the body. I'll look more into those. Those links help, thanks man!i edited my post you have all you need there., the parts #'s are all listed try to get em from home depot or something might be cheaper, also many people put a rubber between the trd rear and back bumper,, look into that

no prob.! gl with installation.Yeah I saw some earlier posts dating back to 2009 about some weather stripping to put between the kit and the body. I'll look more into those. Those links help, thanks man!
i just don't use all those bolts/clips it tells you to get. too much drilling.
Alright, here's another question, hopefully someone see this: I know the TRD wing comes with the wiring for the 3rd brake light, but what would happen if that wiring was to get cut? I know obviously the light wouldn't work, but would I be able to get replacement wiring to allow power back to the light?
Also: Where can I find the clips needed to put into the 12mm holes when installing the TRD spoiler?
sounds messy...people put a rubber between the trd rear and back bumper
