They are additional pieces that are held on with screws and double-sided tape. I guess you could call them clip-ons. The front and rear bumpers are not replaced with the OEM bodykit. I you don't believe me, go to the dealer and check for yourself. Also, if you look under your car, if it's a 2000, you can see the locations where the bodykit will be attached (screwed in), especially at the bottom of the front and rear bumpers. You'll see predrilled holes that have a plastic or rubber ring around them that are plugged with a similar material, which pops out when you want to screw them in. Nissan had planned in advance to come out with an Anniversary Edition and wasn't going to redesign an entirely new body for it. They were just going to strap a bodykit onto the 2000 model. You're welcome.

Yes it sticks on. You can do like I did and have it filled shaved and molded to the car. That way it doesn't look like a kit, it actually looks like part of the car! RBa all you have do is spray some adhesive remover and let it sit for a few min. and take the screws off. The best way to put it back on is to use some of the sealant that they use to seal winsdhields. You want ever have to worry about it comming off.

I think the reason why they put the I30's muffler on the 20th AE edition is since it points down to the ground so the tail pipe wouldn't rub against the kit. I don't know any 2k's with a stock muffler that have put on a 20th AE kit. Let us know if you have to buy a new tailpipe or if you find a way to use the old one.
