Installing a Body kit

Does anyone have any good advice for installing a body kit. I am about to install what I can on mine but I know I have to drill holes and what not. For the side skirts is there a specific type of drill I need use to attach the side skirts to the car?

I just used a drill bit for sheet metal and at the proper diameter for the rivets.

Do a dry run first by test fitting. Then determine where you're going to put the sticky tape and the rivets.

wait wait wait.....which body kit? I don't think I would rivot fiberglass. If it is a Stillen kit, but I'd be nervous rivoting a FG kit.

btw, i did my stillen kit on the 4th gen with screws and tape. the 3rd gen was done with rivots, screws, tape.

I assumed hacim175 was referring to the Stillen body kit. I used Chebostos' instructions when he was running MaximaDriver.com.
