No prob.....Try and get an extra hand when putting on so you have less of a chance of scratching it.

hmm..on the first step it says remove a screw near the wheel well. there are 2 screws on each side i cant seem to get the bottom screw off unless i remove my whole wheel because the even if i use a small screwdriver it's too long and wont fit to unscrew it. how can i remove it without removing the wheel??

I used a little right angle ratcheting screwdriver. Picked it up at Walmart for ~ $4.00.

grrr Have fun with the 3 on the inside. The ones at the top are a real bitch.

Took me about 30 mins to convert my 03 US Si tails to JDM ones:)
