def paint it before u install it. i hate when people put their body kits on unpainted its ugly. installation should be pretty difficult if u dont kno what ur doing

Do you put your clothes on for the day before or after you get out of the shower?

u def want to paint it first, afterall, dont you want the inside painted?
and do you have sideskirts and rearbumper and/or lip?

i just dont really dig a lone front bumper....


and if u really want your lines to match, i'd take it to a body shop to slap it on. if ur in the pittsburgh area We can do it for you and Ill make sure to hook it up for a reasonable price.
otherwise, it'll prolly ahve a gap by ur fenders and maybe even move ur headlights a little.

evl6096,

Not everyone has common sense? Then they should be shot (lol) Dude, not being rude just expressing my opinion. You can ask anyone on boards that knows me. I am last person to make comments like that. It's just a dumb question. Never in my 600+ posts have I ever said something like that. However, this post deserves it![:@]

Unless he has done something that might cause fitment issues then it would be stupid to wait to make sure everything was right, you have more of a change to **** up the nice new paint if you have to take it on and off a bunch of times.... Id rather throw it on and make sure everything fits and lines up with the bumper unpainted rather than risk ******* the paint up when something doesn’t fit right later
