Hey again,

I know this is a dumb question but I need to find out. On average how long does it take to install a Bodykit on a 4 door cavy?

I need to know because my car is my everyday driver and I don't want to miss too many days of work.

Fiberglass - Hours - days.. depends on how well of a made kit it is and if it fits properly. Since its fiberglass, expect to do a lot of fitting and trimming. Possibly some fiberglassing of your own.

Polyurethane- Couple hours tops. I did mine in maybe 5-6hrs.

Do my side skirts come off? Because I was looking at them and they seem like they don't. Do I just slide my new sideskirts over the stock ones and position how I want them and attatch them with clips,bolts or screws?

If so how many bolts/screws do you think would be good enough?

Ugggh.... I was just looking at your cardomain and you don't have any side skirts currently to my viewing on there...

The side skirts install with 3m double sided tape and then screw in the front fender well.
