That's a really good "one-stop-shop" info site.

Here are the instructions from maximadriver.com:

How to install the Stillen Aero Kit

WARNING: These are JUST directions. I am NOT liable if you mess up your car. Use common sense when attempting this or ANY mod. Always use caution when it comes tools that use electricity. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING!


Tools needed: Two or three rolls of 3M double sides tape (1/2 inch wide), PHILLIPS screwdriver, a pack (~10) of small metal screws (that can penetrate through metal, but really small), DREMEL or drill. Alcoholpads, lots of em.

1. Start by removing the plastic covers on the sides of the car (where mudflap would be.. or remove your mudflaps) Now, clean your car, underneath the doors, the bottom of the front bumper, and under the back of the car, where the rear pieces will go. This will ensure good clean contact

2. Now with the FRONT LIP test fit it to the front of the car. On both sides, there is a screw, holding in part of the fender wall. This conviently is the exact location on where the sides of the front lip are going to be attached to.... remove the screws.

3. Cut a few strips of double sided 3M tape and stick it to the portion that goes ontop of the bumper (in between the grills for a 97+ kit, or the front of the car for 95-96 kits) Stick the front lip on and press hard. Now attach the sides of the front lip to the fender sides, and screw THROUGH the lip into the hole where you removed that screw from..

4. You'll notice, that it takes some patience because the polyurethane is thick, but that's good. So it won't shatter if you hit something.

5. Now for the side skirts. Starting from the driver side, test fit the skirt. then stick the 3M tape all the way along the top portion of the skirt, that will rest onto the car (you know, undernearth the doors...) DON'T remove the anti-stick tape covering yet... With one hand (and knee) holding up the skirt, peel off the tape while pressing the skirt down onto the ledge. Remove the anti-stick cover, press, remove cover, press, etc. until you have the whole skirt on. THEN screw/drill the sides of the skirt into the fender walls.

6. If you feel that the double sided tape won't hold up, then do what i did. I put little rivets into the sides of the car, with mini-metal screws to attach the skirt to the ledge. easiest way is to pre-drill a tiny hole all the way thru the skirt and ledge, then hand tighten a screw . not too tight, don't want to strip it...EVENLY space the screws so that you can close the door without any problems. once that's done, repeat for the other side.

7. For the rear pieces, it's kinda tricky. The RIGHT side of the car, you'll have to test fit it so it will clear the muffler. There's a little piece of metal, next to the muffler on the bumper, can you see it? That's where you can put a screw through the rear skirt into the bumper to secure it. You can use double sided tape to aid you in attaching it. For the other side, i just screwed thru the rear skirt and into the bumper to hold it in place.

8. Everything should be really fundamental, if it doesn't fit, try sanding it down. Done.

9. Your car looks TIIIIIiiiiight. Congrats, now people will stare at you.

The prices I see off Stillen's site is $749.00 for '97-'99 and $699.00 for '95-'96. Bummer, I wished the '97 price was a bit lower.
