FX Designs Body Kit Install Question

[gueedo]

I'm thinking of getting the FX Designs body kit, which will put me back just a few $'s. Would I be able to install the kit myself, or would I need to get it done at a shop?

Theres a video on there website that kinda walks you through the installation prosess, that might help, a guy on here said that his bumper came to him of a a few cm on each side which might be a set back when putting it on your self, if your having it painted by someone else then i think it would be best to have them put it on, assuming they have know how, but anyways hopefully that kinda helps":P probably not but hey

If you have access to an air compressor, pneumatic saw, pop rivets, and fiberglass cloth and resin, ( and know how to use it all), then go ahead and do it yourself. If not, have someone else do it. If you live near Norfolk, Va, I'll do it.

I was the one who received the front bumper a bit too wide. It's all a matter of how much time and money you have. I wanted to save a few bucks by doing it myself. I was a real pain in the a-- but I managed to get it looking good. If you really don't feel like pissing around with it then get it professionally done.

I've put on my G-Force body kit myself. There's a lot of pissing around that you have to do from making sure that the corners fit right to that stupid mesh that I can't seem to fit over the air dam. However, I've learned a lot and if I needed to do it again for somebody else then I could. Doing it yourself is not only about saving bucks, but if you had a problem in the future (ex. cracked bumpers, replacing kit, etc.), at least you could do it yourself and not wait for some freakin body shop to do it 2 weeks later.<P>Estimated time that it took me 18 HRS (had to wait for glue to dry)<P>Estimated money that I saved $--- (I bought too many wrong products and tools)<P>Estimated knowledge that I gained priceless<P>one
