I have a 95 GXE and want to put a bodykit on it. But I noticed that the front bumper joint does not go back to the wheel well. If I want a bodykit that goes all the way back to the wheel well, do I have to cut the side fender. Has anyone done this before, please help!:uhoh:

No, all bodykits I have looked at the pictures show the front and rear bumpers go all the way to the wheel wells.

They're prolly custom jobs. I'm sure you'll have to do some sort of work, but maybe the kit overlaps? I'm not sure.

Probably, is it that a hard job to do? What kind of tools do I need.

WOAH! dont just go cutting up your car man. Do some research, go to a bodyshop, etc.

a guy at the body shop said he would do it but it would cost major money. what do you suggest?

^ big $ to cut of the fender? or to install the kit? Go to a few different shops, not just one.

I will and if I don't go to the body shop I'm not going to start hacking it to pieces. i really pay attention to detail and will make it look as a body shop did it.:evillol:

there is no need to pay all that extra for nothing the body kit is a 4 piece deal the front and rear install just like it was from the factory and the side skirts just go over the stock ones with glue and they get bolted on also. i did mine in my driveway with hands tools( i bought from a quality company also no ebay shit and it fit perfect) and then i took it in and got my whole car repainted

Hell Yeah! that is the first thing I'm going to do. But I have a couple of dents and dings, will a hammer and mallet do the trick? Another thing, can I put a racing steering wheel, I could not find an adapter to get the same number of holes for the aftermarket wheels, thanks.
