How does a Couture Body Kit Install?
Most products from Couture will install using the OEM mounting hardware. For instance when you remove the stock bumper cover the bolts and and mounting brackets will swap over to the new bumper. For instance in some situations modifications will need to be made to the brackets or the part. The result will then allow the installer to achieve acceptable panel gaps and fitment. For this reason we always suggest doing a dry fit with the part. This ensures before you drill or alter it in the event there is a significant fitment issue the manufacturer warranty can be used.

Is it hard to install these products?
For an experience body man, it is very simple to install our products. This is not always the case for body shops that have no experience in installing after market body kits. Even though you might feel you have the experience and knowledge to install it yourself, we do not recommend for any of our customers to install the products themselves. Please be advised that our recommendation is to take it to a professional. If the body shop is going to charge you anything over $1000 to paint and install a single bumper, you are probably better off finding another shop to do the work.

What kind of body shop should I have this kit installed by?
When looking for a body shop to install your kit, look for one with experience in doing such installations. A body shop with 30 years experience in doing collision work but no experience in aftermarket body kits is not recommended. It would be better to take the kit to a body shop with just 2 years in business but specialize in installing aftermarket body kits. Ask to see examples of other finished vehicles to ensure that they really do have the experience they claim.

How to get Your Body Kit color matched to your vehicle?
All Couture Polyurethane parts come raw and unpainted. We advise our customers to have their body kits painted and installed at a local auto body shop. All urethane parts will require some amount of clean up on the seams and finish sanding prior to being ready for paint. For customers that wish to vinyl wrap the parts that can be done once the part is prepped and primered then finish sanded and polished.
