Step 1: You will need to dry fit the parts on the vehicle. This is done to gauge the fitment of the part as some modifications may be needed to get proper fit and finish.

Step 2: Any trimming, sanding, filling, or cutting that may need to be done needs to be done during the test fitment stage. The better the prep your installer does the better the finished product.

Step 3: Pull the parts back off of the vehicle and they can be prepped for paint and finishing. Fiberglass parts will need to be block sanded to get the straightest finish and highest gloss once painted. Once the parts are prepped for paint they are painted in the same method as any oem part.

Step 4: Once painted the parts are ready to be installed on the vehicle. Take extra caution when working with freshly painted parts so that you do not scratch or damage the freshly painted finish.

Step 5: Once the parts have been mounted we suggest adding additional support brackets to the front and rear bumpers to help support the extra size of a body kit bumper compared to an oem bumper. We suggest adding a bracket to the lower corner of each wheel well area to take stress off the oem mounting points.

Step 6: You are ready to hit the streets in your freshly re-styled ride!
