Im part way through installing an invader kit and now ive got to installing the front indicators they seem far to wide to fit. Has anyone done this before that can help? or can anyone post some head on pics of their kit help ill post a pic later to show what im up against. Im just really trying to avoid cutting the kit if i can help it. Its already been a bit of a nightmare installing it with it being all twisted an stuff. Im definatley paying for not paying! Guess i should have spent more money kindasad.gif

You need a HEATGUN, PAINTABLE ADHESIVE CAULKING,A RIVET GUN and a DREMEL.


For the Front:Notice on your stock bumper there are 2 slits cut where you front signals slide into....you need to do that also to the invader front. (Dremel w/Fiberglass cutter)


For the sides: Try to pop off your door sills and pull them in with rivets (Rivet Gun)...then use a Grinder bit on your dremel to grind down the sides where it touches the back fender.(Dremel) Then use the Heatgun to set the sideskirt shape to the side of the car. (Heatgun) THEN, Use the paintable adhesive caulking and fill in any small left over gaps and run a bead of caulking 1/4" thick on the lip/undernearth of the edge where the sideskirt will sit on the car.

For the rear: Same as sides minus the rivet part...But here comes the tricky part.... YOU MAY or MAY NOT need to take off your taillights and drill out the spot welding where it's held to the car. If that is the case where you have gapping and it won't sit correctly you need to get some bolts and wingnuts,drill thru the bracket and reattach it higher or lower...you want to treat it like a tire though...only 1/2 tighten til you get the back bumper to sit and then full tighten when it's to where it's supposed to be.


Hope I helped a little. I've installed 3 invader kits on these cars.
