if the kit replaces all the components like a full front bumper.. or full side skirts... then there will be no body damage... maybe some holes drilled.. but tahts it...

if it is a bolt on lip or under sills.. then that will leave marks...

I would think that most standard kits use 3M Tape for the center areas , their should be holes to fit in the wheel well area , I have the Kaminari Kit and the only drilling I did was the center section of the doors just to give it a better fit

I personally like the NISMO Kit the best... I JUST put on the Nismo Replica in full carbon fiber on myc ar... with a CF hood as well... pics in my OMFG I ALMOST FAINTED thread...

the official kit is suposed to be coming out next month... I really hope it does... they have been saying that for a while now...

but if you have no patients like me, I have a very nice replica kit available.

The other kits I like are the Stillen... it is polyurethane and top quality...

My next favorite is the full Veilside kit that uses the wide body fenders... but that is very extreeme... I dont expect an every day driver to put that kit on their car.. more for show.. but the other VS kits are nice too...

If you are interested in the Nismo replica or Stillen let me know...

none at all... it all bolts on to factory locations except for some holes to drill that would be covered by factory parts if you go back...

the rear under spoilers make holes under the body where not visible...

the wing puts 4 holes in the rear hatch...
