Paint it before you install it.

Hahah, that's what i'm talking about. Too many primer colored body kits out there. The only tips you need are: take your time, and do a good job installing everything(make sure everything is snug, fits right, bolts are in place, and so on). ohh yea....make sure you don't drop any of the pieces on the ground or anything!

Like Vesper said......make sure to drill holes and look if everything is ok BEFORE painting.....send it to the pait shop naturally....and after take some of your friends to help you to put the hole kit on the car without scratching anything.....TAKE YOUR TIME and do it correctly the first time.....don't say I'LL MAKE IT PERFECT TOMORROW.....you won't =)))))


Cya!

Yeah, like everyone else said.
Make sure its fitted and everything before paint. Use more adhesive tape (or urethane compound) than the kit comes with or your peices may be loose.

Good Luck.
