Body Kit Installation
Wednesday, September 28, 2005 5:14 PM
Hey i got my body kit last night and was wondering how hard it would be to put it on myself.

Everybody has been telling me that since i got a urethane kit it'd be easy to do with the help of a couple buddies.


Can somebody give me some instructions, tips, or pointers with this?


Not only just on how to put it on, but then where i can get some turn signal and backup lights and how to wire them or any other stuff i'll need to do with the kit.


any help is much appreciated.

I just got my Streertfire kit about a month ago. It wasn't very hard to put on, but I was doing it myself. The hardest part is getting it line up properly. It probably would be alot easier with a couple of friends. I suggest trying it out some weekend. If ya can't do it, take it to a shop.

those are your turn signals, right?

Yes, they are the turn signals. They are off a 95-99 Sunfire GT. I picked em up used at a junkyrad, but if you can't find em used you can buy them new from GM.

i put mine on myself as well, and you can do it, its really just a pain, much easier with friends. a dremel will probably be your biggest buddy here, i know it was mine.

the front should be easy as hell to put on, because it was used

but the sides and rear will be new from car customs


and where all did you need the dremel tool? mainly for the rear or what?

Where ever there is a fitment issue.


I put my kit on by my self. It was a all day project to get every thing lined up properly.

urethane kits are meant to be just about perfect. the only thing you need a dremel for is to trim the crush guard. the kit will use the stock hardware. only thing you probably have to do is drill the holes for the kit
