I've never seen anyone done this, but I'm telling all the sedan owners out there that you can put the side underbody spoilers from Hatchback to match with the front with no issues at all.
You hear me right, the side underbody spoilers for Hatchback can be installed on sedan's side skirts without any modifications needed at all. The spoilers will fit the contour of the sedan's side skirts perfectly, so all you need to do is drilling holes on your sedan's side skirts to mount the spoiler on.
Since the templates that come with the kit is for the hatchback, you can toss them away. All you need to do is transferring the locations of the holes to your side skirts.
1. First, you need to find the 3 holes for the black retaining clips underneaths the side skirts by dry fitting the spoilers on your side skirts. The edge of the spoilers should line up with the edge of your side skirts. Drill 10mm holes for these 3 locations once you find that out.
2. Put wood dowels, 6mm in diameter, in the holes where the spring nuts go in from the spoilers, then put foam tapes on your side skirts around the locations where the holes will be drilled.
3. Install the spoiler on your side skirt with only those 3 retaining clips so that the spoiler is secured on your side skirts, you can now press the spoiler down so that the foam tapes on your side skirts will have the indentations from the wood dowels. Just remove the spoiler and drill all the holes, 6mm, as recommended in the assembly instruction.
4. Install the spoilers on your side skirts with all the clips, spring nuts and bolts as mentioned in the assembly instruction.
Fitment is perfect without no modifications done. I bet you can put the side spoilers from hatchback Sport on sedan as well.
