Body Kit Hardware
Hi, eveybody...I was wondering if anyone out there knows a website or retailer that sell the hardware to bolt the body kit to the car. I ran across a website sometime ago and could kick myself in the ass for nit writing it down. I got the kit from JC Whitney. Thanks...:draco:

Back when the Wings West kits were all the rage, they used a combination of self-tapping screws and a foam-based double-sided tape.
Screws were used on the bottom side of the side skirts and underneath the front bumper; the tape was used to hold the top edge of the kit fast against the OEM bumper moldings.
While I'm generally not a fan of any body kit, it would help if you can link us to the kit you've bought. The correct solution depends heavily on the kind of kit and the material it is made from.

The pictures on that site are hopeless... they show the 5G Accord Coupe, not a DC Integra. Do you have the kit in your possession?
The site did solve one question, however. It looks like the kit is made from fiberglass.
Despite what the advertising copy says, understand that fiberglass is not as durable as the OEM polyurethane bumpers. It will crack rather than bend and it will require more time in body prep prior to painting.
