Yo i always have a lot of questions but this one is a lil different. I've been workin' on my car for the last 3 years although you can't see it so much from the pics I'm gonna post (seeing as how they are about 2 years old). I have a 2001 ES that i've done some moderate work to, and I have all the parts that i want to modify as far as the exterior goes, but after spendin all the money i did in rebuilding the engine I'm runnin low on funds to have all my exterior s*** put on. That also has a lot to do with the fact that i just had a daughter this past January. So now i have a buddy club 2 body kit just chillin in the garage. Along with a '03.5 spolier, DG Style 2 eyelid, and VIS Cabon fiber trunk. Would it be wise if i just made a project outta slappin all this s*** on myself??? Here are some pics but keep in mind they're old (Pre-exhaust, spring/shocks, and engine rebuild).

you can do it yourself... just get it painted immediately...
If its a nice kit you can..Otherwise there is usually a TON of fitment issues that someone with some body experience will need to work out.
95% of kits won't just bolt on....at least not AND look Satisfactory after doing so.

If you dont do body..Enlist in someone that can.

Best advice I can give you..and I do Fit body kits and Paint....So this isn't inexperienced ramblings here.
 
forcefed is right most dont fit right and are a b**** to put on,imo its better to take it somewhere and have them put it on and paint it,it will cost more but it is worth the money
