Zipties!

so when it gets hit by a speed bump or a cone, It'll just fly off and not tear.

Zipties!

don't be a d!ck, all he asked was a simple question.

use the same size drill bit as what your stock screw holes use.

use the same bolts that are from the stock part also.

if you can't drill a hole where it is cramped at, have a buddy or two to hold the body peice up where it should be at, and use spraypaint, small amount, to mark where the holes should be at, and then move the bumper or whatever, and then drill the holes!

the side steps are the easiest, and the rear bumper the hardest! IMO!!!

But, if I were you, I would take it to a shop, and let them do it. they may charge like 100-200+ but, its safer, if they f%ck up, they have to repair it or buy a new kit!!!

Zipties my ***! I got my whole car tied up with zipties!!! LOL JK

i'm a body guy and i say zip ties are fine if you are going to be tracking the car. (autocross or drifting...nothing else) on the street though ^ what he said.

lol!

yeah also what waynehead said.

I've never had a body kit before, so I don't know how hard it would be too use zip ties for drifting, track, auto-x.

Would you drill an extra hole beside the main screw hole to loop the tie around, or what?

All I know, is that if I destroy the kit that I will be getting, I will be p!ssed off so bad! $1,200. +- from Japan!

I'd be lost without half of you guys here!!!!
