I am about to purchase some carbon fiber body kit , i need to know whether are they hard to install.Do i need to prep them or use body filler and things like that.let me know what i have to do to install them,cheers.

 

Depends on the initial quality of the kit.

If the kit is crap, and does not fit right.. you are in for a world of pain.

 

Varis has the best fit for a carbon body kit, shouldnt need prep work. C-west stuff also fits excellent.

 

my carbon creations didnt need much a little grinding around the headlights and that was about it. the rest fit pretty good, but like what was said earlier it depends on how it fits initially.

 

do you guys think i can do it myself, as the installer in australia is asking 1000 just to fit them

 

You can do it urself easy as ****!!

 

Really advice please what tools do ineed how do i stick the kit to the car? do i need double sided tape ? don't really want to use glue or stuff like that, because this kit is add on to the original bumper ,lip and side skirt, don't really want to screw up oem paint

 

Make sure you have a dremel handy for fitment issues/masking tape/ and regular tools.. Thats all you need!!

 

Yep, listen to Jay.

If you have never used a dremel get it professionally installed. If you bought the cheapest kit you could find, dont expect it to fit.

i have authentic cwest carbon fiber side skirts they fit as good as OEM. went on in 10 minutes.

if you get authentic kit or quality kit it will fit.
ive had the seibon front/rear lip fitment was good, didnt have to dremel anything, was a little tight but just took playing around with it for a little bit and finally got it.

but never had to use a demel or any type of cutting.

as far as what i used to put it on for the cwest sides nothing just used the stock screws to bolt it back on.
the front/rear lip double sided tape.

 

+1 on C-West fitting excellent, mine went on perfect too.
