Well I just got my stillen bodykit shipped in the mail....And I have an appointment to fix the door sill rust in a week. The person doing this is a family friend, and while he was fixing the rust I was going to have him replace the center tail light with sheetmetal, bondo some dents and dings, and shave the door trim. Is there anything else I can do while this is being done? Essentally I'm prepping the car for paint...because I'll have the kit, straighten the panels, put the new tail-light piece in, and bondo it up. Should I put the kit on before the bodyshop? Or paint it and then put it on...just looking for advice on what to do next...

 

I would wait till after, this will allow them to get even coats and better finish. Much easier to work with them on a stand, then sitting close to the ground.

 

drop off the car off w/ the kit in the trunk. the body shop will know what to do.

 

If only that were true 100% of the time

 

remove those pesky and theft promoting door handles?

 

i don't think the kit fits in the trunk.

 

really? my kit came rolled in a ball almost, man that was a long time ago.

 

i fit one in the backseat and trunk....you should be able to.

 

then you're dealing with the wrong shops
