Default How to install body kit?

Now that my Invidia Midpipe is finally on the car, I'm onto body/exhaust stuff now. I've made up my mind going with a replica Wald front lip, replica JP Vizage rear lip, and a rep Wald spoiler. Also doing a quad exhaust so the JP Vizage lip is a great one to do quads with that isn't too expensive. My question is how would I attach the front and rear lips? Would adhesive from a caulking gun or 3M tape do the job? I've yet have to order the stuff but the rear lip is from eBay, a seller called "BaysonR". It has a lot sold so I'm hoping someone on CL bought it and can chime in. Thanks!

be careful with the rep wald spoiler. i got one and the fitment was horrible so i sent it back and got the real deal. the difference was night and day.

Yup, it can be hit or miss. The Wald spoiler is bulkiest lip spoilers so fitment might be not as good. The seller I'm buying from sold quite a few and I looked at his feedback. Saw two people who bought it and mentioned that the fitment was good so I'm not worried too much about it now.

I just got my wald rep front lip and JP Vizage rear bumper lip from BaysonR and fitment is spot on. I just have to paint it and install it.

No side skirts? You'll need them to have that kit combo flow.
