Only needed rivets??? The instructions with my new Mopar Hot Body Kit required using a paper template to cut 4 slots (both the front and rear facias) for a tab on the backside of the front air dams and rear spats to fit into, which are then clipped from the backside of the panel. Then drilling holes for pop rivets down the side panels and lining everything up for 3M tape application. And, you definately need ramps or a lift to get the car off the ground to do this install. An extra set of hands when lining up the side panels helps, too.
It looked like a lot of work to me and I'm a bit mechanically challenged. So, I took my 2004 DC3GT down to the dealer for the installation. Charged me $187.50, and it took them a lot longer than this standard 2.5 hour labor charge to get it right. Looks great, though and if the dealer messed it up, they'd pay to correct it. Was worth the money to me.
