Received mine-! Looks amazing can't wait to install. Only problem here, per drilled holes do not match on both (I'm anal I know) and the lowproaero decal is put on the same area as the right side. So one decal would be on the rear and on the other side would be up front. Anyway you can ship a decal? Would love to support but don't want only one on the right spot... Nonetheless awesome !!! And quick shipping !
Edit: As I'm seeing, everyone is putting the textured side down, I personally like the textured side and would like it facing up. IMHO I would do the following.
1. Give option on what side you want facing up, then apply 3m
2. Depending on side they choose is where the decal should go. Where the decals would be near the rear. Instead if I put mine on how they came I have them non textured up, one decal on the side close to the rear facing the ground, and one up front facing the ground. I would not mine advertising the name, so I feel like the should be put on the side that would be seen.

I see what you're saying!!
The holes not matching bit. What I did was remove my side splitters and used them as a template. My driver side for all the customers driver side, and my passenger for all the customers passenger side. I simply could have taken one side and just drilled the holes the same on both splitters, DOH!
Textured vs. Matte. From my observation, a lot of the people on this forum prefer to have a clean matte black side, as opposed to the textured look. I, on the other hand, have GROWN to love the textured look. If you go to my website, http://lowproaero.com, you can see all the splitters laid out. That is the textured side that is supposed to be facing down.
The decal placement. Kaotik, when I was laying out sll the splitters, I had them all facing one way for ease of applying them on. I know what you mean about hsving them flip flopped around
Kaotik, I'm sending you a PM regarding your idea. Thanks for the insight

Review by hydralover
Just got mine and installed them! These things are SOLID. I'm pretty sure I could stand on them no problem. Held up with a big strip of 3M tape, let the car put some of its weight onto the diffusers using a couple 2x4s, then drilled 5 holes and put in screws. It's really incredible how sturdy that thing is, and can't complain with a breezy install!
One thing worth mentioning is that the ABS plastic has different texture on either side for some reason... Smooth side is up, textured side is down. Initially I wasn't sure whether I would prefer it the other way or not and would have liked a choice, but I was happy once it was installed. Also, the diffusers have the LOWPROAERO decal, which would have been pretty sweet if it actually showed once they were installed rather than facing the ground. Seems kind of wasteful to me, but maybe it's for those crazy camera guys who like to crawl on the pavement.
Who knows, maybe my 3M tape was on the wrong side
Overall: 9.5/10
Took off 0.5 because the rear wasn't really cut perfectly to match the curve of the plastic under there. The whole thing could've been maybe half an inch longer with part of it cut out. Perhaps it's different on other years, though. Regardless, at its current length it fits great.
Quick garage photo doesn't do it justice AT ALL (plus reflections are doing some crazy eye trickery), but my car isn't clean enough for a better shoot.
