How To Install A Front Bumper And Sideskirts

Ninosins · January 20, 2005

Hi guys,

I bought a bodykit and it is painted now. But how do I install it? The bumper has no holes in it so I would have to make them by myself.

And how and with what do I glue the sideskirts with?

Thanks in advance

erm..........it would have been better to Trial fit the bumper BEFORE painting, as for the side skirts which type are they, as this is relevent as to how they are affixed

I'll try to find some pictures of them. I bought them from showoff imports.com Is the bumper easy to remove? Does it have metal schrooves or is it a "click" system?

The bumper is easy to remove : few screws under the car, 4 ones on the to next to the grill and an bolt behind the wheel arch. And disconnect the fog lights ...

For the sideskirts, open the doors, remove the screws in the wheel arch, measure the holes position in the body shell, install the skirts, drill them for the screws to come back in place. Fix it with double side tape under the doorsills. Put the screws back on.

You should have fitted it before painting as it surely needs modification (cutting, drilling, sanding ...) to fit if it isn't a Toyota /TRD prepaint bodykit.
