CF Pillar Trim Install Question

Just received my cf trim from Bimmian.
No instructions, alchohol pads, nothing.
I know it's not brain surgery, but I figured there would be something....
Do I just use a prep pad and stick them on?
Do I mix a solution to help with placement then let dry?

Thanks-

Thanks for that

Had a feeling there was something I was missing.
Don't know why I didn't find that DIY.
I'll wait till I get the promoter.

I see Bimmian are offering new THIN pieces. Are these the ones you received?

I'd love to see pictures of them once they're fitted.

I ordered mine from Bimmian as well and they are VERY thin I just used some Windex solution to remove any grease or residue from the pillars and then stuck them on. Very good fit and they look great!

Yeah-

They are thin- really thin.
Bimmian told me that the 3M Promoter is no longer needed- clean well & stick.
Will probably do them this week.
I used to always rush things like this (I know it's not a huge task), but now I like to just wait until I really have the time and do things right. I must be getting old!
Will post pics- car is Arctic/Beige. Hey, I like it! I actually special ordered the combo.
