    The install was extremely simple. There are 15 clips per side. The clips are secured to the body, then you snap the trim onto them.

    1) Pry the old trim off with a plastic trim removal tool. Be careful so as not to bend it (they do have a used value to a non-zhp owner), or scratch the car with it.
    2) It is strongly recommended that you replace the clips as they dry out over time and can crack very easily during the removal or re-install processes. Remove old clips with needle nose pliers. I found that grabbing them, twisting them 45 degrees, then pulling was best.
    3) Clean off area with microfiber cloth.
    4) Insert new clips. You need to put the teeth in, then push pin in to secure the clip to the body.
    5) Snap on new trim, starting at the first clip at the front of the car and moving to the back.
    Done!

    First side took me 35 minutes as I was going slow and being super careful. Second side took me 15 minutes.

    Expensive at $220 per side including clips, but totally worth it if your trim is oxidized, chipped, faded, scratched, etc.
    If you still have the right side, I might be interested in buying it... Mine snapped a year ago about 3/4 of the way. Not sure if it's worth shipping though. Shoot me a PM if you still have it.

    I will be installing a Dinan TB when I get home, so I will post my thoughts. Also, I will be getting the Dinan stage 3 tune, so that should help too. I have to agree with others though, I think intake and exhaust are both minor mods, but coupled with software you can feel an improvement.
