Pulled out the R.A. Flap kit, thought about installing them, realized I am honestly exhausted and tired.
Tossed the box into the cargo area and went to take a nap for 3 hours this evening.
Does that actually count?

Got all these off in an hour and 15 mins! Record for me considering it took 8 hours to take them off and get them on last time... Replacing all the gaskets and dealing with a stripped up pipe stud that was stripped when a friend gave it to me. Any ideas on how to get it out? Cut the tip of the stud to make it flat to use vice grips but that didnt work.. Also, what is the stud specs if I go get a new one from ace hardware?

Went and used one of our lifts to install my flaps. Didn't have the good camera but still took a pic.
Nicest part was I got them on and the only issue I had was removing the screw style body clips, they wouldn't unscrew so I just destroyed them instead.
Took a quick glance before dropping it to the ground fully and I had them aligned perfectly!
*Advise on this job, take your wheels off, WAY EASIER.

Their instructions do say to remove the fronts to make it easier and that made those go a lot faster for me too. For the rears, I just left them on, jacked the car up and let them sag and that was enough to get those...but if you have a LIFT, well...
