Some people will use a few screws along the sides and bottom. Personally, I like the
security of bolts and nuts. That's how my front Vertex lip is installed and I've definitely
hit a few curbs with no issues. If the fitment is a little off on a quick, try and use some
3M double sided tape along with the screws. Take some photos when you're done.

I know I said the same thing when I had the AC stuff but it is what it is with these kits. Even T's Project didn't come with any predrilled holes.

Ha Ha I just hate seeing Shine AC, Shine only makes one kit for the SC so Shine is good. Ok, just use some screws and bolts. The rear bumper will be more work than the rest but everything else should be somewhat easy.

Do you guys recommend screws in the door jams? I really dont like that idea. Im planning to get my shine ac kit in a month or two. So we have to drill our own holes eh? That sucks.

haha If i get another SC i am going 97, I like the Shine it's nice and the fitment is perfect.
The front and rear bumpers comes with hardwares and fits like a glove.

This isn't rocket science trust me these sides fit like a glove took me less than 15mins to do each side. Just grind a little bit on the inside of the side and drill the holes call it a day!
