Can Bodykit Be Installed By Yourself?

I might get a kit for my car, I just really don't feel like paying labor...would it be hard to install it myself?

I put my bodykit on myself.. but ultimatley, you're gonna need a good body guy to prep and paint the kit. Not too hard. It also depends on the quality of the kit you order. My kit came from japan and it had already pre drilled holes. They all lined up perfectly to the OEM holes.

send me your email address and I'll send you the Acura Installation Instructions for the OEM kit.

It's the exact instructions an Acura mechanic would get to install the kit at Acura.

I'm waiting to get my OEM kit painted... but I'm considering throwing the sides and rear on the car just to see what the car looks like with NBP paint and HHM (heather mist metallic) sides and rear lip. The kit installation should take you a few hours at most.
