* With your left hand, pickup the car and use your belly (in my case oh the joys of being fed well by the wife ) or waistline/belt/top of pants to support the front bumper and support the rear bumper, with tires hanging off, with the counter/table edge. Make sure you don't move away and drop the $400+ work-of-art!
* Thread one end up from the bottom and through the rearward slot. Pull it through and stick the end onto the rear shock tower.
* While keeping the tape straight, stick it to the bottom of ONLYthe first three slot fillers in order to keep enough play for you to thread the rest through the front slot without sticking it together and starting over.
* Thread the other end up from the bottom and through the forward slot. Pull it through and stick the end onto the front shock tower.
* After installing the pack, cut the ends appropriately so that both ends overlap each other almost the entire length of the top of the pack.
Voila!

Extra shrink wrap make them larger and then they struggle to fit neatly in the slots, it also insulates them more so they will run hotter which inceases their internal resistance. I just cover the label
