Shitty kit. You'll need to get creative to get it on there.

most body kits need to be modified enormously to fit.

What ^^^ said.

As already stated, most kits do not fit that great. If you didn't have to sell your first born to get the kit, you will end up doing it to pay to have the lesser kit installed professionally.

Body kits never fit right. Are the panels not lining up or the bolt holes off?

ill just use a side skirt as an example....if i were holding up the side skirt to the car and put the end of it around the inside of the wheel well, the front wont slide in at all. Also there are no pre drilled hold i have to do them myself.

You really have to get creative.
IF you know that you are gonna have the body kit on the car(For a LONG TIME) then you can cut the fenders a bit to allow the side skirts and front bumper to wrap into the wheel wells.
I had to slit and bang the inner wells to get the right contour to accept the Fiberglass kit,
But my Car is not exactly a TEN.It is a Driver's car..a Daily.not a show car.

you can always get another set of Front fenders.
The Back bumper should go on pretty good though.
The Body kit I have on,I had to drill all the holes for,so you are not alone on this.
Btw,I would look at trying to put TABS on the front of the side skirts to hold them to the Fender/Door area..there is not too much to grab a hold of there.
