Anyone who has installed the OEM body kit

Mine should be here today. I got the instructions from HandA, but it seems like it may be a bit tricky. Has onyone installed this themselves and if so, have any helpful hints? Thanks.

Just curious: How much was shipping? I guess they estimate the weight to be 66 lbs.

Thanks.

its easy, seriously the only one I didnt do was the front bumper cuz you have to drill holes, i let my dealer do that one, the sides and the back are a piece of cake, you dont even have to measure or whatever it says for the sides, just make em even up.

Thanks all- it always looks harder than it really is. HandA had to ship the front first and the sides seperate (I didn't get the back). The front should be here today and I'll install it tonight, the sides tomorrow. I'm thinking of making a DIY.

Loki- the front weights 9lbs. and the sides are less than 25lbs. together.

You can do it yourself, just take it slow..and about 2 hours of your time, just take off the bumpers if nessesary. like i said..if you have instructions..read them..and you cant go wrong..dont pay someone to do something you already know how to do, you just dont know it.

It is easy. Drilling the holes in the fender lips is easy. Just snap on the front pice, mark the holes, and drill. Then put the clips on and srew it on.

And on the side skirts, you need to use pliers or something to hold the clamps straight while you tighten the bolts. Otherwise the clamps will turn and work loose.
