hey guys. I was just curious as to what all is involved with body kit installation? I'm prepping my car for paint, and I've got a body shop pal who is gonna help me with the body kit, but I want to understand what's going into it. It's an S13 getting side skirts, and front and back bumpers.

drilling holes in the right places... youll probably have to glue parts of your sideskirts on too to make them flush to the body.

you might have to fab some brackets for the bumper to fit right.

Also, I want to go back and put on some 30-50MM over fenders later. Do these have to be "molded" on? Will this be alot of extra trouble if I try to go back and add them after the fact or is it easiest to just put them on in the first place? Thanks for the help so far

you dont have to mould them on unless you want. tons of people just rivet them on.

you have to cut out the stock metal fender arch though, or else it is useless.

rivets? do you put some kind of filler over the rivets to smooth it out? or do they just show? I want it to look very smooth
