Exclamation Body Kit

OK... I have put on a body kit before, and I thought it would be the same deal for our cars, well turns out, it was different. Anyways my questions are:

1) How do I remove the sideskirts, I don't want to scratch or break my car.

2) I've removed the rear bumper, but do I need to take out that thin metal/plastic that had 4 skrews going into the truck and put it on the new rear bumper?

3) Since I need to drill holes, What size holes and will it crack my body kit?

Thanks... and if you guys have any pictures, that would help too.

there's 4 (maybe 5)screws in each side skirt under teh car and theres two tabs in the front wheel well for the side skirts after that just pull it off there's two sided tape holding them on
2) I've removed the rear bumper, but do I need to take out that thin metal/plastic that had 4 skrews going into the truck and put it on the new rear bumper?
me and my installer did it just to try and get a perfect fit with adeqaute support we riveted it to the fiberglass bumper to get it to fit
3) Since I need to drill holes, What size holes and will it crack my body kit?
umm dunno this one
Thanks... and if you guys have any pictures, that would help too.

Originally the rear bumper is Attached to the Metal Piece with Rivets.

To remove them you have to drill the rivets.

these are the tools you need to remove and fix the rear bumper.

Drill machine, Pop Rivet Gun and Pop Rivets ( 1/2 inch)

1st remove the bumper and the drill off the orginal rivets.

Once you drill the rivets, remove the metal piece. place it on the bumper you are planing to fix and from the under side you can mark it with a pen and drill it.

Remember even if not our bumper contains all orginal markings so you can easily mark it from the top.

First drill holes, now REMEBER NOT to use a drill bit which bigger than the pop rivet head, REMEMBER this always use a drill bit which is equal in size to the pop rivted shaft.

After you insert the metal piece underneath pop rivet it again.

Remember we recomend a body shop but you can do it , but you will have to have a couple of freinds,
