Question Any tips before Installing Bodykit???

I recieved my bodykit today... early might i add, thanks Tim.


Well anyways the clips come with the bodykit are confusing the crap out of me.. how do they attach to the rear bumper? Do they go on from the insde of the rear bumper? Anyone with pics by any chance?

So i tried to get the clip in the bumper, and the way i did was from the inside top of the bumper, the clip has the square opening where the screw goes in.. is facing up. Is that rite? I tired to get the screws in the bumper but they dont seem long enough....

Anyone have any tips to help out?

your doing the rear the right way. i had to put my arm through the panel, and put the clip (tablet thing) from the top. it was a little annoying, but not too bad

i ended up taking off the front bumper for the front skirt. it would have taken me forever if i didnt. i took it off a few times before so it was pretty easy. but supposedly on the 02+ you have to do a little drilling for the front

ok the clips are in that way that you mentioned... but the screws seem too short.. can that be right then? Im thinking just going to the harware shop and find longer bolts. Im sick of the clips and i dont feel like taking them out again..

The part with the thread faces the sky. The bolts should fit no problem.

that's the right way crzy if you look at all the screws, you will notice that there are two kind of lengths. four of them are longer than the remaining 9 are shorter. the 4 longer ones will go to the sides (two each) and the other 9 goes along the rear. it should fit no problem at all.

btw, i didn't take off my front bumper at all when i installed my front lip. and surprisingly i didn't even have to pop off ANY of the clips under. yup, i literately slipped my hand through the gap between the clips to install the screws. it was very tight but guess i got a thin hand.... if you can't fit your hand through then you will have to pop off the clips for sure
