Body kits, hard to install? Options

[bloodrain]

I was just wondering if me and my buddy tryed to install them, how hard is it to remove the bumper and stuff and install the new ones?

It really depends on your skills. I don't think its hard and your average mechanic can do it. Its just work and a learning process. Id recommend you bag and tag your screws and plastic inserts, because theres a bunch of them. A diagram of disassembly might help, Im not at home or I would post one for you. Right tools are a must also. I think everybody should learn their car, and then you have the satisfaction of it getting done right. Shop always leave screws and stuff like that out. they don't care.

not hard, takes time, and use as much ideas on how to make it fit! remember to secure it tightly! use lots of support braces and brackes! body kits are not direct bolt-ons. remember this is "Custom"!

thank you for you time and post(s)!

as a novice it make take some time, but I seen some professional fiberglass body kit installers install in no time. Even if the fitment is bad they still made it fit by doing some special tricks, whether it may be sanding down, cutting, or using the heat gun. If you need any help when installing your kit just PM me I'll walk through the steps with you
