The main PITA is going to be drilling the holes to attach the side skirts. I don't have a write-up on this, but mainly what you have to do is line up the T/A side skirts on your Formula and then determine where the holes have to be drilled to attach them.

Use double sided tape on the sides and use screws on each end underneath. It's a lot easier to fit. Mine have been installed that way for a year and I haven't had any problems.
