I saw a epsiode of horsepower TV where the put it on and they put it on a marked where the holes would have to be drilled for it to bolt up and drilled holes in the fender. This was the front fender only I don't know about the side skirts and rear apron. I highly doubt it is very hard but I have never put one on.

I really suggest you let a proffesional mount it a body kit has usually been sitting for a while and figer glass flexs over time, so it takes a little work to make them mount right. If you just try to drill the whole and bolt it up, you will most likely end up having the kit look very off and not aligned correctly.
its up to you though

good luck

mounting it is one thing, finishing it up is another

most place would just rivet all the holes together, which is weak and ghetto, but again most ricer wouldn't figure it out until they have to remove a piece.

if you getting some knockoff bodykit, it's wouldn't fit without some sanding and fitting. The mold probably cranks out hundreds of copies every month.
