Mounting a bodykit

[brad_kauz]

Alright everyone I am getting ready to mount my Blitz body kit to my 95 Eclipse GS and I was wondering if there was anyone that had detailed instructions about the best way of taking off the bumpers and side skirts, and mounting the new ones. The new one doesn't have any preset holes drilled or anything. So if anyone can give me some hints, maybe about past experiences i would appreciate it. Thanks

My Wings West body kit had no holes either. All I have is the front bumper on mine. For the front end, you should have two bolts on either side by the side markers to take out. Then you should have the big four bolts that hold the bumper and bumper cover to the frame. Take those out and slide the cover and bumper off together. Plus, the five bolts just under the lip of the hood that hold the cover up so it doesn't droop.

That's about all I can tell ya. Just take your time.

OK where exactually are the four bolts that hold the bumper and cumper cover to the frame, i have found the ones on the side and the ones on the lip. Also is there any easy to get all the bolts out of the fender wheel cover without taking the hole wheel off?

The best thing to do man is try to lift the front part of the car, or use a pit like in a garage. It makes it easier. The four big bolts that hold it to the frame should be about halfway back from the front of the engine bay. Follow the two rails from your bumper that slide into the frame. Two steel rails with the bolts, 2 bolts on either side.

As for the fender bolts, do it from underneath the car (hence lifting the front end). It's easier than taking the wheel off. Just use a long extension and a deep socket and you should be able to get it.

Good Luck.

Ok i just can't seem to find these two big bolts on each side that holds it to the frame. I found two big bolts right in the middle front, I was wondering if you could give me some pics of where these bolts are or somethin cause i just can't seem to find them.
