A-SPEC kit installation...

Well since my car is in body shop for few things, i've decided on a-spec kit and I asked the body shop if they can install it for me. They want to charge me $400 and said they have to drill holes into bumpers, Is that true? How hard is it to install the kit?

I haven't ordered the kit yet, so any good source where I can just get the kit not the whole a-spec package?


thanks

-jatt

Yes there is drilling, there are templates for the locations.

I did the whole thing in little time. Truthfully if I were to do it again I think it would take less than 1.5 hours.

the most drilling is the rear bumper, and it's already marked where to drill

if you want instructions for everything go to my site

Yep, definitely some drilling. You can get the parts on eBay from a number of dealers' stores.
