You can find it on the AED site under mod sections in the forums,I think.There are also directions you can print out on the store section of the body kit.

front is pretty straight forward.....just dont let it slide up onto your fenders and scratch em up......get a friend to help, one on each side....remove your headlights, and put them back on after the front is on and tightened down....

the rear, has rivets you have to drill out from insdie the trunk, doesnt take long....once thats done, just slide it on (again, dont scratch the quarter panels) and then bolt it down into place.....

its pretty straightforward and easy.

with the body kit installs, do they go over your existing bumpers? or replace the existing?

They replace the existing bumpers.

ok the kits dont come with how to's. I got the AAS kit and had to do A LOT of customization to it.

If you got the back end take off your rear bumper. Should be screws all the way up in the wheel well and some under the back lights and i think thats it i have a 99 so it might be diff. And you will need to cut the foam bumper

Then slide the rear one into place and see iff you need to cut some off or cut and add some in. (IE using fiber glass and fiber glass spot fill)

When you get that done drill the holes where the screws go, then with spot fill fill in EVERY nick this is the hardest part of the body work is filling in everything and sanding it down use 220 sand paper when you get all that done use a i belive a 3-1 fill sandable primer and wet sand with 220 should be good to go.

then the front should go an really easy do the same thing for the front
Side skirts you might need to cut and add i had to. Then when you put all the stuff on and see if there is any gaps. If there is take some electrical tape put it on the car then fill it in with Thin thread fiber glass putty exc amd reapeat tell your done.

And note i didnt take time to put it all in like an order but you can figure it out just take your time on the spot filling thats the hardest part the painting is easy.
Good luck to yah.

oh yeah and when i mean fill with spot fill i mean any flaws not hair line scrathes because the fill primer should fil lthem in
And use a Non sanding primer to reduse the fish eyeing from the oils if you get it, i know some one told me to send out more air then paint so im repainting mine this summer.
