are there pre-drilled holes on the kit too?


prolly be better if there wasn't. but putting on a body kit can be a bitch. especially if you do it urself and expensive if you take it to a shop. but its doable and might take a few hours. have fun.

you just need to keep putting it on, see how it fits, mark off the spots were its not fitting...take it off, cut..put back on,and keep doing that till it fits perfect,its a pain but a fun project to do..for the hood you need to drill the holes yourself, get a couple guys to help you out with this one

It really depends on the company that made the body kit. Companies like Veilside take time in perfecting how their body kits fit, Line it up with your fenders and grill and then work your way back. You might have to make new holes and trim some panels to make it fit perfect, and make sure you have a nice even line going throuout the body. Hope this helps.

make sure it fits first before you paint it!...so after paint you do no cutting, just slip it on and bolt it up
