What year is your Cavalier and what side skirt are you trying to fit?

Coupe skirts will fit as long as the skirts don't come up onto the body (i.e. drift sides, type j sides, trd sides), then they block the rear doors.

2dr and 4dr sides are the same length but the Aerogear Bomex sides you have flare up behind the door so you'll either have to find a pair that doesn't or cut and glass that portion smooth.

As far as aftermarket bumpers, there are two bolts on either side of the trunk inside and there are two bolts on the inner portion of the bumper by the back tire. The bumper itself is on the lip of the crush guard which is a little difficult to get over. That's about it for the rear bumper.

The front bumper has two bolts on either side by the corner light that mainly the hold the bumper on. There are also four pushpins on the center portion underneath the front of the hood and the splash shields attach to the back of the bumper with bolts accordingly. You'll need a 7mm and 10mm socket for the bolts, maybe a 13mm, I can't remember right now.

That's basically how you do it yourself. It helps to have someone to hold up either end but just look for the bolts I said in my other reply and you shouldn't have any problems. The best thing you can do is try it and if you hit a snag, ask in here.

As far as taking off bumpers or any other thing I would suggest getting a haynes manual. It will have many pictures and descriptions of anything you might want to take apart on your car. Plus they're pretty cheap. Also as far as having a sig just go into the little control panel box in the upper right hand corner. Should be in there
