Body Kit Installation

Okay, I'm going to do a DIY install of my body kit this week. I should get it back from the paint shop tomorrow. I'm pretty confident I wont have any trouble getting the front bumper replaced, but I have no clue about the rear bumper. Also, the side skirts are bolt on. I have helped installed some before on other cars before, but they always had this sort of two-sided tape.

How do I go about removing the rear bumper?

Does anyone know what kind of adhesive that two-sided tape is, and where I can get it?

And also any other pointers/tips on installing the rest of the kit.

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
for the rear bumper, its pretty simple, just 4 screws. 2 on the side (in the wheel well, just like the front bumper). and 2 in the middle (open the trunk and you'll see 2 plastic pieces right next to the tail lights. take those off and you'll see the screws). once you get the screws off, just pull (like the front bumper).

you can get 3M double sided tape. but, if your kit is new, then it should come with tape (i think)

for the side skirts, it might be easier if you jack up your car on all fours and maybe take your wheels off because the might get in the way when you try to screw the sides on.

hope this helps. good luck!

Aight thanks... yeah i went out and looked at my car a second ago and saw those two wholes in the back, under the trunk lid...
and the 2 under the wheel wells. was just wondering if those were it.

the side shirts are bolt on... i dunno i thought it was weird too... never seen one that was bolt-on only...

thanks for pointers...

Should have the kit back from the paint shop tomorrow, so I might warm up the ole Digital Camera and tkae some pics of the install...
