well i got the full octane bodykit and i am molding in the sides and the rear, the front also only if i can find a way to take the headlights out without pulling the bumper off, it prolly wont get molded, i have the back done, right now and i am moving to the sides today. but it has to do with your skill level also with everything on these cars.

It's easy. Make sure you do it with a partney so it's not slanted or anything.

Wings West also provided excellent hardware and instructions. You can go to www.wingswest.com and they have a section where you can download videos "how to install a front lip / rear skirt / side skirts" etc...

DO IT YOURSELF BUDDY! You dont want to be like half the import racers out there who claim they have such a nice car etc and if you ask them what they have under their hood they dont know s**t about it, they just bought the parts and had someone else work on their car...so if your not a motorhead at least claim you put the kit on yourself...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
