hey guys how hard is it to put on a body kit? Like do they screw on or what? And could it turn out ok paintwise by just using a spray ghun?

 

You need to drill the holes for the screws your self... if you dont know what you are doing then i dont reccomend you doing it.

 

i also wouldnt reccomend it if you are concerned with your cars resale value/appearance in general

 

I'd definately have professionals put it on. Otherwise it should be just a slip on drill holes and bolt it down affair. I'd also recommend also painting teh kit BEFORE putting it on the car.

 

depends on what you want your paint to look like, really nice paint jobs consist of sanding, primer, paint color, clearcoat, wet sand, wax. Where a factory job would be sandless primer, 1 part paint/clear coat. If you never sprayed a car before..... DONT DO IT.

 

General idea here is if you want it to look GOOD and you've never done it before then DON'T DO IT have it done for you

 

yeah dude, definately don't do it yourself...A good friend of mine is a foreman at a body shop here and he is going to paint and install my body kit at his shop..You gotta fit it and everything else and you definately want everything to line up straight so let the pros handle it cuz they do that stuff every day..He's awesome and I wouldn't let anyone else do it especially when I'll be showing it.

 

not to mention if it is fiberglass it will prob. not even come clos to fitting properly. Most of the time the kit will require you to cut it in half trim it down and reglass it (espeically side skirts) they are a project if not done right it looks bad and most of the time after a few months it looks bad anyway because it will strees crack and look like spider web cracks all over the bolted on points. I wouldnt put on a fiber glass kit period but that is just me

 

Good luck finding a kit that's NOT fiberglass...
