any body mods needed? it depends on the quality of the kit and where you purchased it from...the sideskirts might be tricky...some have a flap that goes over your side rail..(whatever thats called) and some bolt some screws from there...the front is easy, sometimes theres gaps by the fender or headlights.

hopefully it'll fit fine...its quite simple and doesnt really require any other mods.

yeah, we tried the side skirts before and there is like a flap at the end of the skirt. he had blackwidow side skirts. im sure the front and rear bumper will be easy. if needed, we are going to use self taping screws that have rubber washers, so the kit dont crack if slightly over tightened!

anymore tips from anybody?? he has a 4dr 94 civic...

hah..funny thing, i installed a bw kit before too...yeah, but the rear is a little tricky, you'll need to force the sides onto the car..then throw in a screw or something to hold it there...it should fit snug right under the license plate, in between the bumper/trunk section...

cool, thanks alot man. but on the sides there is like this little tab at the end of the side skirt, do we take that thing off, or does it go somewhere, like in the wheel well??

thanks for the hell by the way!

before puttin the body kit on test fit it. you will probably need to do some custom modifications of your own. i remember this guy in my auto shop class had to have his rear bumper cut up and refiberglassed and and sanded down. so don't be surprised if you have to do the same thing. it's a better idea to put the body kit on to how you like it, and then paint it, so that way you don't scratch up the paint while trying to put the body kit on. hope that helps.
