Body kit install...

Ok, so my son has a ford probe and is into the tuner thing for his personal daily driver. At least he stayed Ford. Has anyone put one of these things on? It is fiberglass. The nose piece just needs holes drilled. The side pieces dont seem to fit very well. How are they attached? Been looking online, but can only find guides about smoothing it in after it is installed. Do I use sheetmetal screws and fabricate brackets or is there some other trick? Any ideas,anyone?

trhaus will become famous soon enough
i have seen those kits installed with anything from 2 sided tape and body filler. to self tapping screws. it really depends on your abilities to do body work. and without seeing the car its hard to give an accurate answer but i would personally use a few screws (in an area that is hard to see) the few kits i installed took 3 or 4 days of body work to fit the car properly. the best bet is to cut it apart and make it fit properly. and hide the screws as best as possible.
