I recently purchased the tracer body kit, and was woundering if you install the kit on your car first and then paint it... or paint it seperate and then install it???
Thankx

 

first of all make sure you test fit the body kit first, because you may need to adjust fenders or hood so that the bumper can line up. then test fit the side skirts and rear bumper, then drill the necessary holes to secure the skirts and rear bumper...after the test fit, make sure everything sits the way you want it to and if it looks good take it out and paint it off the car and reinstall it back....i also recommend masking the area around were you are test fitting the items with some tape, so that if there is some rubbing going on it wont scratch your good paint on the car and when installing use some double sided tape on the edges of the skirts to prevent paint chipping.

any time you paint something off the car and not blending the paint into the old one they may not match.. so its good to just repaint your whole car at the same time with the kit separately to insure that they will match.

Hope this will help.....

 

Thanks alot!

 

if you really have to ask that question, please take it to a body shop and have them do it properly. nothing looks dumber than having a car that isnt really painted with an unpainted body kit. if fitment is an issue that you cant figure out, body shop all the way.
thats 1 thing that ill spend money on, and depending on who you take it to will dictate the quality of the fit and the longevity of said kit.
