well, the front bumper and the rear is the only hard ones ,the sides are easy.it takes 2 ppl to put on the kit to get it right unless ur some kinda master body mechanic..and since i used to work for a bodyshop i installed my own kit wit a help from a fren. we just used normal bolts and screws that u can get at any hardware store. if u dont have any experience doin this kinda stuff i suggest to take yo kit to the bodyshop and get it done the right way...hope that kinda gives u an idea. goodluck!!

im not gonna put it on myself, my mechanic is, but hes not familar with body kits and how they install, but he DEF knows wtf hes doing when it comes to cars so i trust him and he gives me a good price as well. so i want him to do it, but he thought there would be clips or brackets that COME with it, not like just custom done stuff...anyone else know anything bout this?

Are there supposed to be spacers between the car and the side skirt where you would drill it to the car? If not I think the side skirt might look a little odd being higher than the rest of the bodykit.

I would highly suggest you get someone who knows about body kits for the install. The guy that was supposed to do mine ended up just holding it up for me to do it myself cause he was stumped. The front was not to hard, although the installer thought it was impossible, I just had to shave some edges that went back to the fender off and force it in there. Also, mine was bolted on, screws and a drill.
