Body Kit Installation
I am considering adding the body kit to my car. I saw at ACP the 4 piece was for a little over $800. I was wondering if this is something I can install myself. I don't know much about working on cars and would not be comfortable doing any type of major work. I already have a rear spoiler, so I don't have to worry about that. If anyone can explain the installation process to me, I would be very appreciative. Thank you.

check FAQ -- for installation
Manus99,
Refer to the FAQ -- along the side of the screen -- and read up. There are lots of members on the board who have done it themselves with not that much trouble. It's better when you have a friend to help you out to align things... (or so I am told).
I am thinking about doing the install myself ... but perhaps I will leave it up to the experts. I'm too scared of breaking something important.
Hope that helps.

both of u guys can do it urselves... i did it with a friend and it took us about 2.5 hours. the sides are done in about 30 mins for both, and the rear the biggest pain in the ass, cuz u gotta squeeze clips in. the front is easy cuz u take of the bumper. just make sure u do it with a friend and follow the directions. also make sure u have all the parts and tools the instructions list before u start. tahts all

Follow instructions given on this board. It's easy. I did mine myself. Tim (the owner of this sight and from whom I bought my OEM kit) is also very helpful should you need any help.

So far I have installed my Comtech Exhausts and my Injen Intake by myself. The exhausts were pretty easy, and the intake wasn't bad either. I mean, it may have taken me a little longer then some of the other people on here.... but I got it done no problem. For both installs I did a search on here, read the FAQs and used what I found as my directions. For your reference, here is a link to the FAQ. I say go for it... there's not many feelings better then installing something yourself.....

Go for it, besides the pride thing you will save atleast a couple hundred bucks, for about 3 hours labor. I did mine and while it wasnt a "piece of cake" it wasnt that bad either. BTW I also used the instructions from Tim.
