Wings West Kit Install HELP !!!

[MrGan78]

I'll be install the WingsWest Kit tomorrow
Im looking in the instruction right now..It appears that I have to drill some holes on bottom of side skirts....do I have to use a jack or something ?? my car drops 1.7 inch..Also about the grease they mention..I don't have anything like it..Is it necessary ?? I'll clean the surface very clean with alchol thing plus I heard i need to use a blowdryer to make the stickers sticks better ?? nee help !!!

hmmm, a jack would be nice but youre supposed to have self-tapping screws so w/ a little force, you will be able to get them in. but if you had a drill, that would be better. and once again, to use the drill, youd need to lift the car http://www.newcelica.org/ubb/smile.gif

sounds to me like you really shouldnt be attempting this install. id recommend you wait and also get some friends that know what theyre doing. youre also gonna need some type of marker (most use grease pens) to line up the kit properly. thats one big reason why you need more than one person for the job. its near impossible to line it up accurately and mount it at the same time.

Good luck on the install man...Highlighter probably won't do the job you want but I give you props for being creative.
On a side note.......If you f&$K up the first time it will cost you a bit more to get it straight later. Hope your friend has had more auto experience. Not to flame.(

You line the jack up with the lip under the car. You must put the entire side of the car in the air under jack stands and take off both wheels to install the side skirts. Put the front end in the air and take off both front wheels to install the front lip, and the rear in the air and take off the rear wheels to install the real valence. That will give you the room to drill. You will have to drill into the fender wells to mount the pieces. Seriouly, if you and your friend are inexperienced in doing this type of work on cars, you should pay the extra money to have a body shop do it. If you slip, you **** up the paint. If you drop the pieces, you **** up the paint. If the body shop doesnt any of that, they fix it free of charge because they are reponsible for it. Just for the install a body shop should only charge about 100-200 if it is already painted. If I were you, I would look into that. Not trying to make you feel bad, just wanna help you get the body kit on RIGHT. Hope this advise helps. Good luck.

Mr gan? how old r u really?
You always seem to be lost. I remember u asking questions that most would consider dumb.
the installation can be done by yourself but u will have to be very cautious. use the scissor jack in the trunk to lift up the side. under the door area u'll see notches.

[X-EVIL-X]

are you guys ok in here.
ITS NOT HARD TO INSTALL A KIT YOURSELF.
i did it will my friend.
you dont need to jack your car up.
the front lip is easy
the side skirts are easy too.
just take off the stcok side skirts and clean where the tape is going to be and puth them on so there flush.
put on the back and then when your done get a drill and drill where you want to put the holes.
i only put in one screw and i think thats all you need.
most people have two screws.
drill threw the new pieces and make the hole in the body of the car and then screw in the bolts.
thats it.
easy and you dont need a jack .
all you need is one more friend.

You think WW sucks so bad...Let me buy it off of you. Since it's already painted I will give you $500 shipped. Let me know. :O) You could put it towards an action package

[X-EVIL-X]

why do you think wings west fits bad?
it fits pretty much perfect if you install it right.
do you like the way it looks?

[J3adSeed]

did you ever jack up the car? if you did, do you think it was really necessary?

[X-EVIL-X]

its not necessary to jack up the car.
