You can add them later but you might as well do them at the same time since you'll have to pull the struts out anyways to install the extensions.
I just did mine recently. Took me about an hour. I wish I had done it during my initial suspension install but I didn't know about the extensions when I bought my struts.
You have to remove the baby seat hook thing by unbolting it under the plastic cover. You also have to enlarge an existing hole with a 1/2 drill bit where the extension will go thru into your cabin. I even used the same bit to drill a hole in the plastic cover attached to the rear deck (NOT THE COVER THAT SNAPS ON AND OFF). If you want I can take pictures for you but if you look for the DIY thread... it's all in the thread that someone else made. I used that for reference. When you look inside the wheelwell you will see two holes, drill out the one closer to you (closer to the outside of the vehicle.)

Looked in the DIY and didn't find that thread. If it's not asking too much would you take a picture for me, that would be much appreciated.
Also, thanks for the response, it's been really helpful.
Thanks again,
Mark
