How do you install a body kit? Because there are no holes drilled.

what kind of kit?
line up the kit and drill the necessary mounting holes
It's the andys auto sport kit. And that's what I kinda figured. Thanx.

ya, take off your stock bumpers, and just line it up and drill from inside.
the rear bumper will be easy, since there is the brackets inside the bumper, so you just line those brackets up off the car instead of having to get inside there
Yeah, just line it up and drill. Hopefully, the kit fits though. I heard nothing but horror stories about that company. I really hoped they figured out their issues over the last couple years.
the horror stories are of the knockoff ebay AAS kits. my real one fits great

Well, that's good to hear!! I will keep that in mind..
Well got the front bumper and back bumper on but what about the side skirts? Because there are no screws to hold it on.

There is 1 screw in the bottom of the rear wheel well. none in the front.

get creative. drill holes, and cover em up... its all about technique... lol there is not really a science to bodykit work like that, drill, redrill, fill, move, i have a piece of metal "glued" to the underside of my type j rear bumper to keep it flat... lol it worked, and im not complaining
but how do you get it flat against the car, between the wheel wells?

use more screws. lol i have 3 in each door jam and 1 or 2 in the front and rear wheel wells to hold on my side skirts. i wanted to keep everything looking smooth so i ground the heads flat and glassed over them to mold the kit in. i've also seen rivets used.
Yes, rivets are a good idea for the outer door sills
its not rocket science. put the skirt up to the car and hold it to the car temp with some tape or something. drill 2 or 3 holes for the front and rear of the skirt into the wheel wells. in order to get the skirt flat along the door sill you could use screws there or double sided tape.
