bodykit installation?

I'm getting an ABP TLs this weekend and am thinking about getting a body kit too. I am probably going to buy a kit off this website because it's cheaper than if i got one at the dealer. Does anyone in/near San Jose know where i can get it installed, if they do a good job installing, and for about how much? I would do it myself but i am just not the handy man when it comes to those kinds of thing. Thanks alot.

questions.

do you need to jack up the car at all to install the kits? my only problem is drilling holes, coz' i don't even have a drill myself. so i might have to go and buy one myself. but after all the most important part is whether i have to jack up my car.

The front you will need to jack up the car for drilling the holes. The sideskirts and rear lip, you don't need to jack it up. good luck!

yeah, $200-$300 seems about right. I plan on doing some calling around and seeing what it cost for installation only. I will keep you updated. Thanks.

or...you could just find a curve that can allow the front/rear to be raise and supply you with a better height.

I did it myself too...the instructions in the forum is pretty decent...if you find any of the instructions confusing...it will become clear once you look under the car.

dude...we're setting up a meet in Jan,02. maybe you could check it out with us then...or feel free to ask us anything.

cheers.
