Does anyone have instructions on their website that has installed the kit them self? I want to do it myself and i was hoping to find some info about the best way and what to expect (problems etc).

I heard that they only use two sided tape?

if your installing a body kit i would advise against just using double sided tape.........

you could used double sided tape but it won't last long. i would use rivets along with the tape..

Re: for the last tim i wasnt gonna use two sided tape

Personally I would geatly advise against using the rivets. If you use screws instead, it makes it easier to remove pieces from the car in the case of something breaking or needing repair. In all actuality, just ditch the whole package that they give you with the kit, which includes various rivets, their cheap 2 sided tape, random screws and other stuff. Go to the hardware store and get a box of 3/4 " STAINLESS STEEL phillips screws, also go to either a body shop or a paint supply store and get a roll of the RED 3M double sided tape (its red on the oudside, grey in the middle). Also you must must must must get 3M Adhesion Promoter 06396. It comes in packets and it may come in a spray can too. It helps the tape stick better. This is a definite item to get, it makes the tape stick to the car and the body like cement! Its good stuff, I had to take off the rear part of my kit 3 days after installing it because the original tape was not sticking, and I did everything that I was supposed to do when applying the tape. I then used the adhesion promoter and the new 3M tae and it is like bonded to the car. But that is all for now, if you wanna e-mail me feel free and I can give you detailed instructions, I just don't have time to type it all here. fitz9999@hotmail.com
