Direct bolt on means the aftermarket mods are directly fitted onto our oem parts with the original bolts and parts that came with the car. (Direct replacement of OEM parts).. There are no requirements in drilling extra holes or customizing anything to fit the body kit.

Watch this video and you'll know what i mean Keep note that the bolts removed were all OEM and the body kit came with pre drilled holes to direct bolt on to your car. Some members do use double sided tape as well to keep the lip on even stronger..

But remember it doesn't mean replica body kits doesn't come as direct bolt on, the only thing about replica is that the fitments will not be as good as authentic versions. With replicas, you might end up spending more money trying to make it fit properly. However there are replicas out there that are identical to authentic ones.

Went to Color Creations in Placentia, CA this morning. They just finished and it LOOKS GREAT! Can't even see where the old scratch was.

Definitely recommend them for small scratches and paint work.

Yeah! I think the work they do is excellent, especially for the price and everything.

I may end up putting a bandage on my car somewhere anyways. They look pretty fun!

Thanks muggy for the video, it really brought some clarity to some questions I had on my mind. Wow. It literally is bolt-on. That is awesome. I can't wait for some great kits to hit the market soon!

Ouch, that sucks. Too deep for ScratchX which I've had with success with in the past on scratches that don't penetrate the clear coat. Touch up paint might be the best bet but I haven't had good luck with it personally.

Nah. Was there from 1000 to 1300 hours. Most of the waiting was for the clear coat to cure enough so that I could drive off safely.

Wow, you had that taken care of quickly, two hours work, and the car looks unblemished. You got a good shop there.
