How do i get my kit to the bodyshop? lol

This may be a stupid question but how did you guys with bodykits manage to get the kit to the bodyshop? There is no way I can fit my nismo front and sideskirts in my car and i dont have access to a bigger car. Is there anyway i can temporarily mount it? It didnt come with screws or anything. So how do i do that? Any help would be appreciated.

You really should get a pick up truck to transport the parts to the shop. Thats what I'm doing with mines. You can mount the kit on the car yourself but if you do it then you should make sure you know what you're doing. Once you drill the holes and mount it on your car, it pretty much stays there. Unless you have predrilled holes on the kit already I wouldn't recommend it. Goodluck.

Have the kit shipped to the shop? Or have the shop picked the kit up from your place?

Wouldn't it be easier to try and mount the kit on your car b/c shouldn't the car with at the shop as well so they can color match it?

Check with the shop. They might have a shop truck that they will let you use. I had the offer made, but I had already arranged to use my brother's truck. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone with a truck or SUV these days. Offer to treat them to lunch after dropping off the parts.

I'd mount it and test fit it myself, This way I'd save some money on the labor for the mounting too.

I was able to fit my my ING+1 Full Body Kit on my coupe just by dropping the rear seat and moving the passenger sit forward.

I had the same problem...I jumped at the chance to get my body kit..I got a great deal on it...but I hadn't picked a good body shop yet...so I had the kit shipped to my house..they were huuuuuge boxes..luckily..i stuck them the garage..when I finally chose a body shop..I needed a way to get the parts there..the shop didnt have their own van and the friends I had didnt have vans and ones that didnt werent available..so what I did was goto home depot and rented one of their pickup trucks...its $20 for the 1st 75 minutes..since my shop was only 30 minutes away..I made it with time to spare..only thing I had to do was drop it back at home depot with the same amount of gas as when they had given it to me..otherwise they charge a lot..all you needed was a valid drivers license and a major credit card...
