Hey people...My friend has an 01 TL and we need to know for the OEM body kit upgrade...do we need to remove the front and rear stock kit? We know that we have to remove the side skirts, but according to the directions by Mr Hyde, he doesn't mention anything removing the front or rear. It seems that the front and rear OEM body kit just fits onto the stock kit and requires some drilling and that's it. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

The front lower needs to be removed. The rear stays in place. I believe the '00 and '01 are identical; therefore no drilling is required. Shouldn't take you more than 2 hours or so to install.

 

Thanks!

 

Oh a couple more questions...my friend has removed all the bolts including the two security bolts on the sides and the front lip still won't come off...is there any special way of taking it off? And also, are you sure the rear doesn't need to come off? It looks like a replacement also.

 

There are 2 plastic clips (one on eash side) that are hiding. You have to look at it closily.
And the rear skirt is add-on. It's not a replace ment. You just have to slide the clips nuts(13) through the holds under the rear bumper cover and bolt it on.

 

does the kit come with 3M tape?
or does it stay on with just the bolts?

thanks

 

There's no double sided tape. You just have to bolt it on. Better watch out for some gap on the rear skirt.

 

gap?:yack:
anyone here use double sided tape?

 

Hey
im just wondering........
how much did u guyz get the body kit for

cause last time when i ask the dealer.........
they told me that the 2002 body kit is selling for $750 (just
the front) and also the sidez and the back are selling for seven hundred something............ WTF

(by the way......its in canada)

Someone in dealer quoted me 1700$ + tax for the whole kit and installation

but when i purchase my TL (a year ago)
they told me that i can get the whole body kit for seven hundred something w/ install........... :wow: (great deal)............

but u know i ran out of cash...so didn't get it

or is it because its the 01 body kit......so its cheaper?

 

I don't think there is enough material between the stock rear skirt and where the new one attaches to get a good bond. I found that wedging the rear skirt upwards while cinching down the bolts takes away most of the gap.

 

I've got mine for little more than 400.

 

tell me where!
i have the exact same color as you.

thanks
