Mounting body kit
 

Hey guys I have a quick question, and wanted suggestions on how I should mount my body kit. The Body Kit i bought has a front lip, side skirts, and a rear spoiler. It came with hardware but i was wondering if there is an alternative to using screws. Specifically I was wondering how well 3m VHB tape works. Ive watched several videos, and its seems to work really well. Also how easy is it to take off? will it pull paint? Any other alternative would be great too. Thanks for ur input!

Uh... I believe it's either tape or screws. If you don't to use screws, use 3m double side tape. You probably can find a role from auto parts store. Will it pull the paint? Don't know, it might leave some tape residue.

Most kits that use tape, will at least mount into the wheel wells. If you are only using tape, I doubt it would stay on for more than 2 years.

I pre drilled and screwed everything. I would trust 2 way sticky tape or adhesive. I just think with freeway speeds it wouldn't hold. Attachment 69393

screws for me too.

What headlights are those?

Factory. Baked and painted. And I installed running LEDs inside them. Attachment 69398

Those look great

I like the headlights as well. I went the opposite direction when I did mine, leaving the projector chrome and blacking the high-beam:

I kinda wish I had taken your method for it in hindsight, but I'm happy with mine too.

Wanted to ask: is that just plasti-dip on the bumper below the front marker/fogs? I like how it looks like the TRD bumper (but without the goofy front plate holder).

It's vinyl. The only plasti dip I have is the emblem.

Love them, thanks.

Sweet, I figured that was the other option. I've got a roll laying around, maybe I'll give it a shot. Looks like you used matte, though; wonder how gloss would look...

Mine is all CF
