Just finished installing my body kit
I know all of you have seen these types of pic before, but I'm proud of my work so I will showcase it!! The install really didn't take that long. I got home early from work so I decided to do it before it rains again!!

Thanks fellas for the compliments. Installing the kit wasn't as bad as I thought. The rear and sides were easier than falling down. I thought the front would be bad since the instructions wanted me to remove the bumper, drill nine holes, use masking tape for something. All I did was mount the front lip with the car jacked up, pre-drilled about 6 holes for the bolts and tighted it up using the supplied bumper bolts!
If I had to do it again it would probably take me about an hour to do everything!!

Looking good Rich!!! Pretty easy to install isn't it? It's crazy what a dealer charges.
Did you get to use the rear piece?

Anyway, I went to Sears hardware and bought a self tapping hex head screw. I figured if the bumper bolts supplied were used a 10mm socket, maybe if I made the hole with a 10mm self tapping screw it would work. It worked perfect. I used the self tapping screw like a drill bit and pre-drilled the holes and used the supplied bolts to hold it in place!

If you look real close, you will see lines criss crossing each other to show you where to drill.

Who took the bumper off to install the front spoiler?
