it's a bitc* 2 put on

First off .. it's not coloured ... u gotta get it painted 2 match your car paint ... next u gotta try & stick it on ... str8 ... Stillen doesn't provide screws ... just some two-way tape ... yup ... thing costs $800 & they give u two-way tape ... nice ... but it shore loox fine when you're done ... save frustration ... get it done professionally

make sure they..

Pre-fitt the kit and shave any thing that will not fit properly... because once it is painted it will be hard to go back try to fit it on... I had mine installed by a guy I know at a body shop... he did a pretty good job... I gave him two bills... for paint and install... If I had the money I would have taken it to a real shop... and if they f*cked it up I would have something to ***** about .. but for two bills I'll just suck it up... but expect anywhere from 400 to 700 dollars to have it painted and installed... makes you think twice huh?

Re: make sure they..

Coomaxx's quote is about right ... I'm in Canada ... so they've quoted me $2100 + 15% tax ... = to about $75 US ... just kidding =) It's about $1300 USD 4 a pro-installation .. yes it definately makes u think more than twice about it ... but heck .. it looks so GOOD!!!

Tape? are you kidding?

When I picke up my Kit.. I got self tappig screws, rivets, and tape. BUT... I was not going to do the tape thing... go to a body shop.. and ask them to use epoxy... specially for polyurethane... and it will never come off (if you leased, stick with the tape)...get it... stick... with the tape.... Damn I kill myself...
