Post OMG!! I just intalled the bodykit myself!!!

it took me about 3-4 hours... with a set of incomplete tools.. anyways.. it was pretty hard, using all man-power for everything (except jacking up the car).

I did everything myself except this part where you have to yank off the stock side skirts.. my dad helped me

the car looks awesome now!! I can't wait to install the sways soon!!!

I SHOULD HAVE. Those bastards ripped me off.
That's why I opted to do the bodykit myself.
I feel much smarter now.
