hey, i had a question i thought i'd post here seeing as i'm sure someone has the answer to. i apologize in advance if i posted in the wrong part of the forum, anyways, here goes. i have an 01 sedan with the tsunami front bumper xenon skirts and xenon rear lip/skirt. the side skirts and rear lip is off as of now and i'm getting tghe whole body kit re painted and re-installed. my question was which kind of installation i should use. the options i'm away of are using urethrane glue and just pasting it back on or riveting it and getting it bolted on around. what options do i have? how much should each take?(re-paint and installation) and which is the best way to go? appreciate the help, thanks! i'll post pics of my f!@$@#ed up body kit soon. once again, thanks!

my front is just bolt on like a regular bumper. the skirts had the ureuthrane(sp?) glue on the ends with tape on the part under the doors. the rear was just all ureuthrane glued on. my car looks like **** cause i took the sides and back off and it hasn't been washed for a month +. i'll throw up some pics tomorrow if i get the chance

double-sided tape and a couple well placed screws should do you just fine on each piece man

yeah the front should go on like a normal bumper, the sides should have metal brakets held on my 3m tape to support the middle and then you screw in the sides of it. then the back should be 3m tape in the middle and screws on the sides.

my front goes on like normal...sides screw in inside the fenderwells, doublesided tape on the rest....back went on like normal...but for a lip screw on the inside of the fenderwell/ lower part of the bumper and tape the rest.....if u rivit it on or use some extreme adhesive, if u ever want to go back stock it will be all jacked up

appretiate all the help so far! here's a vague picture of how my car was a year or two ago, minor changes but shoes the full body kit during it's prime before the numerous trips from san jose to san diego and back.



these pics weren't taken recently but do show the damage after i had taken the body kit off. a few shops have quoted me $800 to get the front, skirts, rear lip and the grill piece stripped, sanded, primed, painted and installed which isn't half bad in my book. check em out:

story was, my bro let his roommate borrow the car on a rainy day when the tires were bald. he skidded out and scratched up the rear bumper so i had to take off the rear lip and get it done. at the time, the skirts were a bit loose so i thought i'd take that off too. the front bumper has a small gap between it and the lights and few paint cracks. the grill piece was just never painted before it was installed so i thought i might as well throw that in there. if i get a place to match the paint, will it still be legit in, say 4 years? or should i definately get someone with the factory paint code to throw it on? thanks!
