1) Can I install these aero kits myself?
Yes and No; some you can if you are mechanically inclined and have experience with this kind of labor. Some vehicles are much more difficult than others when removing and installing parts. You have to know your limitations and let the pro's handle the job if need be.

2) What kind of body shop should I take the kit for installation?
We do not recommend body shops that solely perform labor or identify themselves with crash & collision. We have found that many of them do not have the experience or "know how" when dealing with aftermarket body kits. The crash / collision do excellent work with fixing cars that get in accidents and they make them good as new in STOCK condition. There are some crash / collision shops out there that do deal with aftermarket kits and do great work at reasonable prices. We are only talking about those that do not. We have sent perfect form fitting kits to shops and for some magical reason they have never ever seen anything like this and with all their 50 year family lineage experience & wisdom passed down from generation to generation still cannot do the task. We do not care about that. Either they know how to work on modified cars with aftermarket kits or they do not. We have seen the local neighborhood kid who works in his garage down the street install kits without problem and do the work some of these body shops claim they have knowledge of performing without the headache of some body guy telling you
he cannot install the kit or will not for some reason but want to still charge you storage fees, and some magical
fee for looking at your car and determining he or she does not want to touch it.

3) What about instructions and hardware?
None of the body kits we offer come with either. Most bumpers are simple replacements for the stock parts. Once you remove the stock bumpers, you can reuse the mounting hardware to secure the new bumper onto your vehicle. If you are unsure on how to remove your stock parts, please have your local body shop perform the installation.

4) My bumper or side skirts is not going on. It seems too small, why?
If you buy a full bumper, it is intended to completely replace your stock bumper. On many aftermarket bumpers such as 95-99 Eclipse and 96-00 Civics you will also need to remove the front reinforcement bar. You may need to remove factory OEM side skirts (aka rocker panels) before trying to install aftermarket side skirts. Believe it or not, we have also had several customers try to install replacement bumper covers over their stock OEM bumper.

5) Do you offer the kits pre-painted?
No, we do not offer any painting services whatsoever. If you are a local customer, we can usually refer you to a competent shop nearby that can perform any requested work.

6) Why is the shipping cost the same for a full kit, or just a single bumper?
We ship both in the same sized box, and since the parts are not that heavy, the majority of the freight charges come from the dimension of the box. So, whether you purchase a single bumper, two bumpers, or a full kit, the shipping cost will be identical. This does not apply to purchases of side skirts only, as those can be shipped via normal ground services, which is much cheaper.

7) I received my bumper and there are small pit and/or pock marks and my bumper is not too smooth. Why is that?
Depending on the factory, some have less quality control than others. You have to remember that at the price point many of the kits are selling at, the people who make them will do the minimum amount of finishing work. Sometimes bumpers are pulled out of the mold too fast and they are soft in some areas. That is why you may see bondo marks on the bumper to smooth it out. It is very common (bondo marks), so do not be alarmed. Other times, during freight transit the bumper rubs and "hits" other parts in the box and small chips & pits can occur. Remember these are all fiberglass parts which are fragile. All shipments are 100% insured, so you can always make a damage claim with the freight carrier to reimburse your loss. An easy common cure is to get some bondo from your local Home Depot or hardware store and you can dab a little on the area and fix it in about 5 minutes. Body shops can perform this minor easy repair, but we see shops outside Calif. charging ridiculous amounts for a couple minutes of labor and about $2 worth of materials used. Now available is Bondo / Fiberglass combination which are even stronger and better than plain bondo. Cost is a little bit higher, but it works better and good to keep around if you accidentally crack your bumper later on down the line and can fix for almost nothing yourself rather than forking out a couple hundred for repair work.
