Yes I did. Easy diy, I'd say about an hour. Instructions here.

Thanks, I think I'm going to have to give this a try.

I paid 300 CHF, which is about 270 USD. The convenience of just picking it up 5 mins from my work made me get it from the dealer, but perhaps it could be found cheaper elsewhere.

You won't find it much cheaper than that. I ordered mine from Garry in RI here in the States, and with shipping it was ~US$240 w/ his discount. Plus, just being able to pick it up and install it while you're motivated is worth a few extra CHF, IMHO.

Thanks guys! I really like it too! Somehow makes the car look less high no?

Definately, doesnt exaggerate the window line anymore, looks great. Btw mystic blue is a great colour
