i just finished my veilside kit, and involved alot of work. ok the kit pretty much isnt that bad for fitting, the front bumper and rear bumper are fine, but the side skirts are a bitch, it consists or 4 bolts, 2 on each side and thats all that holds it up. ur goin to have to dremel the skirts as best as u can so that they r as flush on the car as u can be. then inside the wheel wells (depending on how hard it is to get on to the side of the car, mine was tight) u'll see theres a strip of rubber, which is painted over on the inside of the wheel well (u'll see it when u put the skirt on for fit) u'll have to take a knife and peel it off. after that u should be able to let the skirt hang off of the body w/o holdin it. now heres the difficult part, (every kits mold will be different) place the kit on the body w/o it bolted on and look at the 2 sides of the car (not inside the door, just the two ends of the kit) there will be points of the kit that will stick out and wont be flush on the body of the celica, those points (one on each side of my car) ur goin to have to drill holes, u fist have to figure out where the "point of pressure" is (the point where if u push ur finger on w/ a bit of pressure and it doesnt stay flush on the body of the car) then put a generous amount of industrial strength glue on the kit then put the bolts on, then put another generous amount of glue on the bottom of the bolt, but make sure u do it right, once its set, ITS SET. once its set, take the skirt and line it up again and where the screw is bang on the panel of the car, that way u have a mark where the hole should be drilled, make sure when u drill it that the hole is just a bit bigger, so u half some play, also make sure the inside of ur car is stripped so u can put the washer and nut on the skirt, after its painted and ready, put double sided tape on as well, thats what i did on my kit and it turned out awsome, if u have a good body shop worker, like i do, those holes wont rust, let me know how it turns out! P.S. the kit is week undernieth, i could fart and it will move extremly, if u want to know how i made it strong, and so u can go over speed bumps let me know! have fun!

Thanx for the info.....i couldn't wait so i did it myself...i didn't have to use any glue though.....i have no idea why you used it but hey if it works it works....what i did was put the two screw in at the wheel wells but then in the door panels i put two more screws to make the fit snugger then i did a little magic to cover them up...looks perfect...like it was stock....your right about their snug fit but that was a breeze to fix......one question?????? on youe front bumper....the side markers, did they plop right in or did you have to take off about a 8th of an inch to make them fit(I had to)......other then that the kit was a breeze to install....

lol, the glue was for the bolts, i glued them inside the kit w/ industrial strength glue so it would but up tight to the car, thats all, i never used it on the car, ouch. anyways glad u like ur kit i love mine, and yeah i had to trim off alot on the skirts but it paid off. i was wondering did u use anythin to support the kit so u could go over bumps and it wouldnt crack, cause a mean its like 6 srews on the front and rear bumper and thats all, i fuigured out the way so u can go over speed bumps and such, let me know what u did!
