The pieces feel pretty solid. The front and side pieces, once mounted, don't flex or move at all. Maybe I'll find some time to GoPro the pieces at speed to see if they move at all but I don't think they will.

The pieces are a thick plastic that flex when not attached to anything but are solid when mounted.

Yup! That was me.

I live and work in the area. Well, at least for the next 1.5 weeks. Moving back over to St. Pete/Seminole.

Think I saw this car today. Not too many AP2V3 with lip/splitter around this area I presume It was hard to tell in the sunlight if it was Chicane Silver or Silverstone. Sounded very nice!

Lol - ah yes - you took off too slow from the light for me - you must have still been asleep ;-)

I work in the Tampa Bay office park right behind the stadium/next to the hospital.

Haha nah, I just drive extra slow near work.

I work there too. There are so many s2k's in that office complex I've lost count.

See you around

Follow-up on this:

Front lip is doing great - no issues and already has protected me some "would have been" scrapes.

Side skirts - not so great.

Drivers side: I guess I got a little too enthusiastic with the screws and over tightened them. As a result, the self taping screws lost their grip and will no longer hold. I went up to the next size screw, and they still won't hold. So, the drivers side is off.

Passenger side: Screws are all fine and tight but the skirt cracked in the middle where one of the screws mounts. The crack is barely visible...but goes all the way through. I could possibly epoxy it on the bottom and nobody would know...but I'm unsure if I want to do this.

Currently I'm debating if I just take the skirts off and fill the holes to prevent rust or try to figure out a way to get the drivers side mounted and a way to repair the passenger side crack.

I'm due for a service with LHT...so maybe I'll just see what John thinks and then let him make the repair or removal/fill.
