I got the Invader kit from 97Celica and am having a bit of trouble.

The sideskirts I have I cannot seem to fit right. They are about the right length, but the side skirt will not closely hug the car so there is a slight gap down parts of it. Is this normal? Also, parts of the kit seems to be chipping and stuff while Im working with it so I should just be able to spot fix that with resin right? And how would any of you suggest I hold the sideskirts. In the front where the tire well is I will use those existing screwes, in the back I was going to get some self tapping screws to go through the kit and the metal, though in the middle of it where the door sill is i havent quite figured out yet...self tapping screwes again?

I havent even gotten to the bumpers yet, I have been having a hell of a time trying to locate all the screws and stuff holding them in, though I do know about the front bumper having to be shaved where the safety bar is so it properly fits.

Finally got sideskirts fitted and the front bumper...mostly...It seems to fit alright (the front bumper) but there is about a 1/4 inch gap or so between the edge of the light holes and the light...its not too bad though...any advice on fixing this up?

Also, hah, the rear bumper I ordered from 97Celica was suppose to be for a coupe, but like everyone here says, it seems as though there is only a hatchback version because it wasnt anywhere CLOSE to fitting. I am currently cutting the rear bumper and working on fitting it though it might be a while.

When I get a chance Ill take some pics to show my progress...any advice from someone who has put on the kit for fixing the front bumper gaps in the lights let me know wink.gif.
