Received my wicker bill on Monday night (leaving for fest at 6:30 AM Tuesday morning). I was unsure about installing as I typically like to read the instructions, watch videos, and just general walk through an install a couple of times before proceeding. Needless to say I didn't have the time, and decided that I would just go ahead and do it. I found the video of the install on ASC's facebook page which helped greatly, as well as the very thorough instructions. I had a little difficulty mocking it up to mark the holes, but with some extra tape I was able to hold it in place with the spoiler on the car and get the holes marked.
Instructions said mark 1/4 inch down from the top......I wanted to be accurate.....maybe a little too accurate.
Got everything all marked up, and removed the wicker to prepare for drilling.
This step was the most stressful as like I said I was leaving the next morning for fest, and was about to drill into the only spoiler I had.
This is also the only time I deviated from the instructions by drilling an intermediate stage between the pilot hole and the 3/8ths hole. I figured since I had everything marked I might as well continue and I set to drilling holes into my spoiler. I also wrapped my 3/8ths bit with tape to mark the point were it would drill through the spoiler and to prevent it from going too far. Sorry no pictures of that. Got all the holes drilled quickly and easily but boy was it stressful.
After drilling all of the holes, I peeled back some of the tape from the holes and installed all of the nutserts. This was a very easy and straight forward process, and only had one of them mess up on me.
Here is where ASC's customer service really came through......It was roughly 10pm central time when I sent him a PM with my problem......Kurt answered immediately after several exchanges he walked me through the fix. Got the nutsert straightened out, and peeled all the tape off. Bolting the wicker on was very simple, and the adjust ability of it is straight forward and also very easy.
Overall the install was very easy once I got over the fear of drilling holes in my spoiler at the last minute before a trip. And Kurt's customer service was beyond amazing, and sold me on his products. A vendor who answers customer questions outside of regular business hours is excellent in my book. As far was the wicker, it looks killer, and really adds to the overall look of my car. I did not notice any major loss of MPGs on the trip to Bowling Green and back.....average 26.2 on the way there and 25.8 on the way home.....bill down on the way there, bill up on the way home. I will definitely be buying the rest of the kit from Kurt once I have more funds.
