Welcome!

Your sideskirts were designed by Veilside, but are commonly known as Erebuni or Invader sides. (saw that you didn't know in your members garage)

Okay.....your car....wow, might need a little body work

I personally would get rid of the front bumper, looks trashed and expensive to fix. You will need to purchase a new hood and bumper.

Those sideskirts look wierd, almost like they didn't make them right and they are really horrible knockoffs. I've played alot with those sideskirts and they come up in to have the side molding cover the bolt holes. Why they put 3 screws in the side of the scoop like that is beyond me. If they needed screws there, they should of put flat heads in and bondoed over them.

Honestly, i would start over by getting new body kit, or if your wanting to put it back to stock, go that way.

What kind of budget are you working with? A lot of the stuff you can do on your own, like fitting the body kit and changing the hood and tail lights (thats a personal request

)

But the paint and professional body work (definately have them look it over before painting the car) i think are in order.

You will need to decide what kind of spoiler to put on your car, either put the original stock back on which would be the easiest or go with an aftermarket. An aftermarket spoiler will require you to have those holes welded shut and smoothed out by a body shop, then painted if you find something else you want.
