Default body kit installation

i just bought my oem body kit, a front underspoiler, 2 side skirts, and a rear underspoiler. What do you guys think the installation would run on something like this if its already factory paint matched? And any recommendations on places to get it done? Im in socal, 562/714 area. Thanks

nothing if you do it yourself. buy a haynes manual for your car and save yourself $100.

Try and find somebody that has installed a few body kits on cars (local street racer/car customizer). Just make sure its not one of them dumb punk kids that thinks he knows everything.

pay me to do it..hehe

it's very easy..get a 20 buck power drill at home depot and you'll be finish within an hour or so.

those are not bodykit, it's lip kit(underbody spoiler) it come with self tapping screws and all the nessary stuff.

the best way is to take off both bumper and drill the screws while it's off
but you can lift it up and work on it also, just have a friend or two to place the lid on your bumper, and you tap the screw in with the drill.
it's simple, just do it yourself.

Hey you live in irvine, thats like 10 minutes away from me. I can show you how to put it on, its a piece of cake. It looks alot harder than it really is. Bodyshops rely on people not wanting to put on their own bodypanels, they will overcharge for the 2 hours at most it takes to put all that stuff on, cause they can. If its already painted, you're stoaked. Its just a few bolts and screws away!!!!
