Body Kit install few questions
Wednesday, May 04, 2005 4:12 PM
im ordering my kit from winks online in a couple of days when my mom lets me use her credit card she even charges me interest like four bucks to use it....

well anyways im gettin a buddy club 2 and i was wondering like if there is step by step guide to do this

ive been looking at my car and the rear seems really easy to put on however the front im not quite sure i see like four bolts under the car and i think i have to take the fenders off but im not sure......do i ?

and on the side skirts do i drill into my car or is there sometype of mounting hardware i need.... also on the side skirts the side is like flat then it angles toward the outer part of the car do i mount to the very outer part where it angles or do i just go to where its all flat....

i have lots of questions and im sure it will probally take me bout three days i dont get home till five........

and any help would be greatly appreciated

ps: i know its low i have 18's so not a problem cept for my winter hubs lol.....

um ok yea...

NO do you need to take the fenders off.. Dont see why they would to begin with.

Theirs a couple different ways to mount the skirts. One is drilling the other is molding .

The kit is a piece of cake to put on itself depending on the mold that you get. But it still is fiberglass and youll need to tweak it no matter what .. like the headlights ...

please search i posted how to install a kit like 5 different times. i'll give you a quick run through

FRONT BUMPER
open hood and take off rad cover that is above the headlights. there are 6-8 pop clips. once that is off remove the headlights and corner lenses. 2 bolts for the headlights and 3 little washer type things for the corner lenses. once thats off there are 4 more pop clips between the headlights that hold the bumper on. behind each headlight there are 2 bolts. theres a few misc. bolts in the wheel well. that should be all. if not there may be something connected to the air dam under the car. when you put on the front test fit it, mark where the holes are, then take it off and drill out the holes. for the crush guard thats behind the bumper, trim it down so your new bumper will fit snug.

SIDE SKIRTS
these are pretty easy, depending on how good they fit. basically just put a few bolts in each wheel well and about 3-4 along the door sill.

REAR BUMPER
open the trunk and untwist the hooks on the other side of each tail. pull the carpet back and there are 2 bolts on each side. under the car there are 4 pop clips that hold the tabs in. also misc. bolts in the wheel well. do the same for the front as the rear when you test fit it and trim the crush guard. depending if the rear sags or not you may need L brackets to pull it up.

hope that helps. just something real quick
