Default Installing P1 kit (Updated w/ Pics)
I got my front and sides done today with my dad.
the right side is sort of weird. Doesn't fit that well for some reason.
Probably I have to do something about it later, but so far, everything seems good.
I didn't attatch the rear yet because the exhaust tip is touching the rear kit,
so I'll have to lower the exhaust. Anyways, here u go~




What to do next? Get some springs dammit!!
low in money anyone sellin springs around 70~100 dollar range? hit me up!

I lined it up perfectly first (looks like you need to push the ends in more toward the bumper ) then I pre-drilled holes and used rivets rather than self tapping screws.

Rivets are much more theft proof. My whole lip kit is riveted on. Then I took a black permanent marker and touched up the rivet tops to black them out. :D

I think i want to get it, but in the factory dark blue. It's easy to install right? Any cutting? How's the fit.
