From what Ive heard, U take the stock parts out and put in the new ones. The bumpers, panels and all comes off, and the bodykit SHOULD fit right in.

the sideskirts are sticky taped on actually. that and, where the turn in on the wheel wells, u can screw them in. just used spacers on the backside till its even and wont crack when u tighten them down.

i used a drill and self tapping screws to keep mine secure. i used the 2sided tape to position the pieces first.

The right way to do it is with tape, screws, fiberglass, bondo, sanding, and a brand new paint job.

You just use all the stock screw holes and screws. but remember cars were not meant to have bodykits so in almost all cases you will need to do custom fitting. this means using things like bondo to make sure everything lines up as best as possible. if this is not done like on oh lets say 99.9% of the cars with kits on them it will look like shit. your best bet as it seems like you are not too familiar with body work is to go back to stock, sell the kit, and buy something useful.

i am fimilar with my car and the body kit, i just didnt know if there was a different way i can put my kit on, the rear is put on with screws n tape

i woulda done a more permanent mounting solution and depending on the style of skirts, molded it in. probably would have gone with a few screws or even rivets or something, then just fill in the holes they are in, mold the skirts into the body, make it clean

I screwed my old bodykit on the fenders and used silicone to attatch it. Works great.

Just don't ever plan on taking it off.
