Xenon kit installation?

Has anyone installed the xenon kit, if so how hard was it, and can someone give me a little info on how to do it?

it was pretty easy just follow the directions first off I notice some people with the xenon body kit side skirts on backwards including mine then I got mine fixed its easy you just need some good strong double sided tape and a nail driller. Easy cuz xenon does a good job making sure everything fits right and no modifications to the body kit whatsoever.

One thing i suggest...if you use the double sided tape it comes with....once you attach it, use like masking tape to hold it in place for a couple of hours to make sure it sticks....also dont forget to make sure both surfaces are clean before you apply the tape. Wipe everything down with rubbing alcohol or some type of good cleaning solvent. Good luck.

you need two people...and make sure you predrill holes in the ends for the sideskirts....u can do it without removing the wheels...but you should take them off, makes life easier.

Just to confirm what everyone is telling...be sure to be 2 person and wash the 2 pieces before applying the tape...the 2 parts ( the car and the side skirts and the rear lip ) have to be clean !
Like APS told be sure to predrill holes in the end of the side skirts!
They are not really hard to install but be sure to do it right the first time and think about what you are doing and everything will be fine!
And make sure to send us some pics after huh? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
