2nd Generation Install the bodykit myself?!?!?

I have the R34 90-93 4dr accord kit picked out for my 91 camry. and was quoted $500 to have it painted and put on. How hard would it be to just have painted, then put on myself? If I had some help, We could hold it in place and get the alignment right, predrill holes and then bolt it on. I just need some advise people. thanks

btw are there any good sites that give some step by step guide to putting one on?

Uh, that kit won't just 'bolt-on'

Dry fit it before you paint it, and see what you have to modify.

what he said..

you might have to cut it in half to get it to fit... by means making it smaller..
i think the accord was bigger overall..

Yeah, it's not just align and bolt up. There is gonna be some modification and fiberglassing involved, so if you don't have experience with that, then leave it to the pro's.

If the quoted $500 to get it put on includes any modification to get it to fit, then go for it.
