Need Body Kit Help ASAP

[VTboyinFL]

I'm buying a body kit tomorrow and if its possible I want to avoid paying a lot to take it to an auto shop. Does anybody have instructions or know a video or can explain to me how i can put it on myself. It's a front bumper, side skirts, and rear valences. Thanks.

just take off whatever bolts are holding te front bumper on. Use mounting take for the side skirts and valences, and if you need a more secure method, use self tapping screws.

So the front bumper should use the same mounts as the stock one and for the side skirts and valances mounting tape will hold? And what kind?

Most automotive paint stores should have 3M brand double sided tape that's meant for exterior automotive use. Manufacturers use a it in conjunction with fasteners.

As far as the front bumper mounts, most aftermarket manufacturers try to use the factory mounting methods to get the bulk of their bumper to mount and line up. They tend to not use all of the available fasteners, though.

And prepare for it not to fit correctly and break very easily.

mostly what the others said, the new bumper should have these dimples where the factory holes are supposed to be. You most likely have to drill it out. Get a friend or someone to help you hold it and fit it and drill out where it needs the screws to match to the factory holes on the body. Hopefully its a good fitting bumper, the one I bought had to be cut down the midle and we had to add about an inch of fiberglass to strech it to fit. Post pics when you have it installed.

Remove the mud flaps in the front, and use the holes to put screws into , for the side skirts
-drill for the back on the inner fender lip.
On the sides under your door , use the double sided tape made by 3m to hold it on
- make sure to clean the area where you put the double sided tape on very well , because it will let go if its dirty or greasy.
