Installation of OEM body kit?

For those of you that have installed the OEM bodykit by yourself, how was it? easy bolt on? do I have to jack my car up?

very easy, no need to jack up car, unless your car is dropped really low or if your really big...but normally you don' t have to cuz i didn't, bolt on and adhesive...go to www.handaaccessories.com something like that or just go to links on top of this site and find the website close to the site i just wrote down...and look under 2001 civic exterior stuff and you'll find the complete installation in pics and details...

Yea, like skillster said.....It was no big deal......You don't even have to measure the side skirts when you put them on.....it was worthless to do so.........
You might want to have another person help you lift the front and rear skirts.........My sticky shiettt kept getting messed up.....but easy.......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I put the sides & rear on by myself, but you'll have to take the front bumper off to install the front skirt. Total time for all 4 pieces was almost 2 hours (including the time it took to remove & reinstall the front bumper) Most of the installation is just common sense

If it's easy to install it, won't it be easy for me to get jacked? Never really heard of kits getting jacked, but it's definately a possibility.

Installation is vey easy..just make sure you line it up straight, and youre good. as far as someone jacking it,,never seen it happen...but it takes some time to disassemble it.. ive done it for repairs myself...so unless you park in dark alleys for days on end..id say dont worry [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] let me know if i can get ya a kit too..shoot me an email, so i cna check stock for ya.

No, the rear lip fits right up to the bumper. Then, when the rear lip curves around to the sides it starts widen in order to follow the same line as the side skirts. Hopefully that makes sense. Couldn't think of how else to word it. Anyways, I was concerned with the same thing, but it fit just fine. Shouldn't be a problem.

I guess it's possible, keep in mind there's an adhesive on the parts. Its easy to put on because you only have to peel of the backing and fasten some screws, but it should be kind of difficult seeing how there's adhesive besides screws holding the parts. I know you can take it off though but with some force
