haha...Larry..that's how bare polyurethane kit looks like..he didn't paint it yet..

you can tap screw on the side(on the fender along the wheel arch) and use double sided tape on the front bumper..where it sits on the valence opening.

It's not that simple. Is this just a pre-fit or is it already painted?

I'm trying to find the guys post who did an EXCELLENT install himself, but it seems to have been deleted from the "How-To" thread.

I have it printed at home SOMEWHERE and if you have a fax machine, I can send them to you on Monday(sorry if it's too late).

He had a side shot of a Grey Luster Max w/Aero kit in his sig. I can't remember his sig name.

No, I believe it was a 2001 with 17" SE rims. It was on his driveway with a 4x4 ride height.

Just a guess but could it have been Pillager?

No, it was Grey Lustre, which I believe was a 2001 only color.

I have his name at home, I'll find out and post tonight.

His instructions are the best I've ever seen for DIY.

You definitely need to wash your car first...Anytime you are sticking tape to something (especially semi-permanent tape), you need to wash the area first where the tape will be...Any contaminants on the tape will make it not stick as well...Also, when I did my kit myself, we riveted instead of screwed teh pieces to the fenders
