How does the ACS body kit mount?

IraXI · 07-30-2006, 08:57 AM

I am going to put in an order this after noon for the full ACS body kit, however I have a few small concerns. My car is a lease and I will need to completely remove all traces of the kit before turning the car in. Does anyone know how the kit attaches to the car? Is it 3M tape or will it need to be drilled on? Can it be removed in 2 years without any evidence of it being their? Thanks guys!

I beleive it's 3M taped
you'll have evidence of them even after you remove it, the part of your bumper not covered by the lip will be all chipped and marred by rocks, while the part that's covered by the lip would be near flawless

Ya, but that wont be a big deal when I turn in the lease. As long as their is no scratches and gouges that will trace out the body kit, I dont think it will be an issue. I am maticilous with my cars, so I dont think Ill have a problem turning in the lease, but better safe than sorry.

3M clear Bra, works wonders.

I returned my MINI cooper S with 5K worth of mods. I put 40K miles on it in 9 months. My lease was a 2 year 10K a year. Bought it for 22,500 and got 19,500 for it 9 months later when I traded it in for the 330i, but Mini has awsome residual value.
