    Default Installing a bodykit on a factory car..?

    hey guys ive got a stock 2001 VX lumina and ive got sitting in my backyard 2 HBD side skirts, 1 rear HBD skirt and a VT SS lower front lip. ive also got 2 metal plates that hold the front lip in place and the rubber moulding that comes with the side skirts.

    i'm not asking for a full write up...(unless you want to )
    but could someone briefly explain what clips and other things ill need to fit these.
    also could someone explain where the screws are to take the front bar off.

    sorry about all these questions i literally just got my license a week ago and i'm excited to get this fitted and learn.

    2-3 screws on each wheel arch and approx 4-6 on top between the headlights.. and just wiggle it off the slider brackets. thats your front bar off.. never taken side skirts or rear bar off :P so can someone continue?

    i will have a shot then, the rear bar and side skirts would be held on at the wheel archs by screws.. so take them off and go from there

    should've tried holdens, atleast they'll give you the correct part numbers and may even be cheaper than supercheap/autobarn
    Chev badges are an instant fail
