Default Help... easy-off body kit?

Can it be done? My Hatch has major cancer in all the usual places... above and behind the rear fender, and in front and below. I was going to get the WW kit to cover all this stuff up (the weight and drag aren't a problem) and then it occured to me that I'll just draw attention to it while it's parked for weeks on end at school. So, how long would it take to put on/ take off a kit? Is there a way to make it faster? haha.. heck, can a quick on/off kit even be done? Ah well, let me know if I should just keep the rust all summer and deal with it... thanks.

umm i think it has to be on pretty securely so for one it doesnt fly off your car and since your gaining all this attention you dont want anyone to swipe it

You posted it before I could yeah those will work but I dont know how well the kit will be flush with thoise though?? All there are are clips that are welded to the body then you use a screw driver to twist them on and aoff...its what like nascar and such uses.

Or get the rust fixed as best as you can, grind it all away, and fill it with fiberglass, best way to do it, unless you weld..

Thanks for the advice guys... I think I'll look into those flush mounted clips... my dad was mumbling something about that earlier. Oh yeah, I can't fix the rust since it's a gaping hole in front of both rear wheel wells, like a right triangle shape with a base 5 inches long, and a height of like 7 inches, there is NO metal in there to grind or fiberglass so I'm gonna weld some plates on it, but this kit is to cover all that up.... once again, thanks!
