How hard is it to install a body kit myself? I have a Veilside kit minus the wing, Erebuni aluminum wing and a vented hood. I'd like to put the kit on myself to save some money since I'm on a restricted budget
The front and wing look easy enough. I'm not sure what goes into the side skirts and the rear 2 pieces should just go straight on/bolt on. The hood will take some work, but I'm sure I could do it. If anyone has some experience and can give me some pointers, it'll be greatly appreciated.

 

is this authentic Veilside pieces? if not, there is alot of work needed to fit the kit, better to have a good bodyshop do the job.

if it is a erebuni body kit, return it asap. they are crap. When i had my miata i had their veilside replica and the auto body guy said it was the worst fiberglass he had ever seen. Every part was off by a lot. Th front nose had to be modified extensively to fit, we had to hack some parts off of the original bumper and graph them into the nose. The nose was to wide too. The left side skirt was angled up and the right was angled down. The fender flairs were the best part but where only of marginal quality. The rear wing was aweful. The shop guy tapped a weak spot on the wing and put a hole in it. The mounting bolts fell off and had to be reinforced. I can go on and on, but you get the idea.

 

if u have a replica kit make sure you find a bodyshop that works alot with rice kits, otherwise they'll say the pieces are not right or can't be installed and stuff like and will charge you $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Well, I was told it was a Veilside kit. One the inside of the fiberglass, there's tags that have Japanese writing on them and such. How can I tell the difference between the two kits? The side skirts look to be of similar make, so that's a plus I guess. I didn't get the wing, so I'm now worried about that. How can I tell if it's an Erebuni or a real Veilside kit?
