take the day off of work, bribe a buddy with a pack of beer (or pop/soda if you're under 21), remove the stock bumper and side skirts, keep track of how everything comes apart, put the body kit on the car the same way your stock stuff was on there. if it doesn't line up, tweak it and go from there.

USE COMMON SENSE! that helps tons in body kit instalition. i did mine for the first time by myself and it took me about 4 or 5 hrs. so if you take your time and think before you act its easy. make sure you post pics when ur done.

I work Everyday..but i was wondering, if i go ahead and install the body kit myself, would it be much harder for my body guy to re paint it...he keeps sugg. to me that i should have him mold it..which do you all think looks better?

I'd never mold a fiberglass kit on a daily driver. Looks have nothing to do with it, it WILL crack, and you will have 10 times the issues fixing it if it does.

if its a daily driver i wouldnt suggest molding the front of it u may be ok to do the skirts and rear but it will be a pain to fix if its molded
