IF its FULL side skirts, then its screwed or bolted on, but if its just pieces that connect onto the stock sides.. it'll be like just double sided tape, i worked on my friends neon with the flared kit.... holds up pretty well... just turns into a pain in the ass when you mount it wrong.... cuz its hard to take it off.... good luck man.

For WW skirts, they screw on in the ends, and there is a screw on bracket in the middle under the car, but the upper edge is 2 sided taped on. Only took me about an hour for each of mine.

I work at a body shop doing that kinda s*** all day long, so I guess I AM a professional... I had it painted first, then I rilled al lthe hole to mount and fabbed up the brackets for the foglights (those are the biggest pain in the ass, mounting them to the frame.) Then I had to get the stock grills to fit, and find some way to secure the splash shield. The kit wasn't very well designed with regards to that kinda s***... I'd get it professionally done or yo'll have ALOT of headaches if you don't know what you're doing.BlueWolfCry said:

damn...well since you work at a shop, what do you think is a reasonable price to get just the front installed? does the autoexe grill fit the ww bumper? thanks for the info (sorry for going a little off topic)

Dunno on price. You're looking at about 6 hours at LEAST just for the install of the 3 pieces, so try like 3-5 hours (bodyshop time) to do the front bumper, not including paint. Do it yourself man, it's not that hard if you take it slow, and you'l lsave a TON of money. The AutoEXE grill should fit, cause my stock one did...

If you have any mechanical aptitude, it can be donw, but it's gonna need alot of work around the bottom of the headlights, and around the wheelwell area to get the splashshields to attach. To do it properly, don't rush. Like, set aside a weekend, and don't just do a hack job on something so you can have a body kit on ASAP. Take your time to make sure you get it right the first time.BlueWolfCry said:
Well it's time to get this started.... Finally got the kit... ordered it from a local shop long horrible story with them... ended up ordering it from another company and a funny (well now it is) story cme with them... but anyway its here and ready to go.... so now i have a question... lol on the side skirts there are little white clips... do these pop out or are you suppose to slide the side skirt over them? im going with poping them off... but If they are not meant to be popped off.. then yea... =)
