How hard is it to install a body kit?

[[D]RiFT^[R]]

Hey ppl im thinking of buying a body kit and I was wondering if it is hard to put on your self? What kinda tool would i need? Is it better to clue the side skirt and then screw them as well? Or should i pay some one to do it for me? Has anyone had experience...

My front bar bolts straight on and off however I was unable to remove the skirts as they were glued on.

I'd check with the manufacturer of the body kit you wish to purchase as to whether or not it's going to bolt straight on (assuming you don't have a front mount intercooler). I'm not sure about gluing the skirts on or not, but if you're happy with them I don't see the harm. I imagine without glue they could be a bit flimsy and even end up rattling.

Also remember that if you're sticking it on yourself, you'll have to get someone to paint it beforehand.

one of the most hardest things unless buying original kits, is to find ones that fit and line up correctly. most likely they wont so it is best to pay some one to ensure smooth cut lines.

maybe try your self if they line up ok go for it, if not just take it to a body shop.
