Alright, im helping my girlfriend install a blitz full kit on her 98 eclipse. it is undrilled and i have some questions so please help because ive never worked on an ecl,ipse before:

ok here we go:

- where are ALL of the screw points on the front bumper, back bumper, and side skirts?


i see the 5 or 6 under the hood and in the front fender wells, are there any more in the front? i see the 2 on the bottom of the rear bumper, but how do i get to the screws under the lights? i cant figure out how to get that middle light out. where are the screws to the side skirts?

-how exactly do i make a pilot hole before drilling, and what is the best bit to drill with, and how do i enlarge the holes after making the point holes?


i have access to an electric drill and a dremel

- the side skirts have a part that looks as though it rises up onto the body. how is this attached? which some type of glue?

-what is the best way to figure out wear to drill the holes? with different dimensions, i would think it would be difficult to measure from the stock pieces for good fitment? whats the best way to do this?



im sorry for all of the questions guys. any help at all would be great. :)
 
the easiet way is to measure 2-3 times before drilling what I did for the front was take a marker and make sure of good fitment for the front. and each hole poke threw to make a mark on the bumper then drill. for the sides on the front measure 3 times before you drill. and for the sides usually people use double sided sticky tape. and theres a few bolts for the side skirts that are already on the body that you can use. and to get to the center tail light thers a piece in your trunk that you have to take off it's directly behind the center piece take that off and you have full access. use a tape measure and make sure you drill in the right spot. take a small drill drill your holes and then just either take something bigger or you can just grind out a bigger hole using the same drill bit just go in a circle at a angle and it'll get bigger. hope that helps you out cause I'm in the same situation as you right now. with the kit fitting right.
 
The only problem i have is on the back bumper. How do you get the sides to fit right? I need detail because either they stick out too much or they go in too much or they hang too low. How do you guys usually install the sides on the back bumper?
