Tips on installing Stillen Classic kit

Ok, I know this has probably been discussed before. I'm going to be doing the install myself in my driveway, no special tools, nothing. I might have to buy a rivet gun. Now, I need to know EXACTLY where i SHOULD rivet the kit in place. Its going to be front, rear and sides. Thanks in advance.

Any special types of screws? I'm going to rivet the sideskirts in. I really don't plan on removing the kit, unless I decide to repair my front bumper.

Make shore the surface will be cleaned with rubbing alcohol. Because when u applie the double sided tape it will not hold well if the pain has wax or dirt on it. And lay cardboards and towels to prevent lip and side skirts from scratching in case if they will fall during installation. It’s better to have a buddy who can help you. You will need some one to hold the parts wile you are drilling the wholes.

I only drilled holes inside the wheel wells. I used three screws on each side with the front and rear lip. The rest I used the 3M double sided tape. I kept the OEM side skirts on.
