I know most kits need some retro-fitting...
What would I have to do to a Invader front and rear
bumper to get it to fit? Most importantly the front bumper.

I'm eager to get going on it as soon as the weather breaks.

put it on urself or have someone put it on??the front should be fine,it really depends on how much u spend on the kit,a 200$ front wont line up as well as a 500$ front.

I'll be putting it on. I have another ride for a daily driver while I do it just in case I run
into something unexpected.

Yeah, I did some body mods to my old Nissan a while back. I haven't actually
bought the kit yet. I'm buying an Invader style kit ASAP. Love the front bumper
on those. I replaced the entire front end of my Celi after a small accident about
a year ago so I have some experience in the inner-workings of the Celi.

Right on. Yeah, I'd rather spend the money on a higher quality new or used bumper set than
put some floppy junk on her. I saw this Honda driving down the road the other day and the after
market front and rear bumper were flopping and bouncing around. It looked horrible. Like a
kit made of construction paper. Too funny.

you probably will just need to cut something or just make a hole on a different part of the bumper for it to fit,, nothing really serious,,,,
but for me when i buy something for my car, i go for the original

the front IMO is going to be the hardest to fit. in terms of the work it actually takes to get it to fit. we had to sand the hell out of mine due to an excess of fiberglass and add maybe a quarter inch of fiberglass around the headlights to get it to line up. it was a lot of work lol
i got mine from boosted6g though and i don't even know the brand...

FYI: You're going to have to do something with the crashbar, and removing it would be the dumbest thing you can do IMO.
