I just received these: Lotus: Wide racing side scoops FIBERGLASS [LM-LT-1011 VTR] - ?180.00 : LMCorse.com, Official Website

The look great, but I am fiddling with them a bit for fitment. The brackets aren't preformed like some of the others available from LEA components, and I seem to be missing or not have the same fasteners LEA delivered. I'm not sure if this is just how LM does it or if there was an issue.

I have some install questions but now the car is apart and answers will probably have to wait until next week, but I thought I would see if anyone has them here.

I sent:
I received the scoops, they are beautiful!

I don't have any documentation on how to install them so I wanted to confirm:
1) I should remove my body nut fasteners and move them to the standoffs you supplied
2) I should remove the foam on the inside edge where the mesh would go up against the car
3) I should reuse my fasteners without the washers to fasten. It looks like I will have to enlarge the holes on the scoops. Is that normal?
4) I don't seem to have enough rubber to go around the whole scoop and the mesh. Where is it supposed to go?

If you have a install document it would be greatly appreciated. (pic from your instagram acct)

I have the Reverie ones and got various length plastic standoffs painted black. This way I was able to adjust how far from the body I wanted the scoops to sit. I don't recall if I bought longer screws also.
