Finally installed my GP sports Kit

I had the kit for a month or so and was going to paint the kit prior to install. I decided to get the car painted so I installed the kit today.. It's a good days work to get it installed. All in all I'm very happy with it.. Pics attached. If you have any questions on the install send me a PM...

The kit overall wasn't that bad to install. the side skirts are the easiest.. What i did with the rear is take the stock top mounting strip which is metal and use it on the gp sports rear bumper, on the sides of the rear the marker lights help hold it and and used two rivets in the wheel well. The front I also used all stock monuting harware.. It isn't that bad but took all day to remove my old and install the new.. I also did it myself. Shoot me a PM for anymore questions..

I hate the rattle can, good waste of time and effort to make your look like a horse **** on it.

Wait until you can paint it correctly then do it.
