How long does it take to install a full bodykit?
I'm getting a full bodykit including front&rear bumper and 2 sideskirts. I was wondering how long it'll take to install the bodykit. Let me be more specific, how long will it take to paint the bodykit and let it dry, and how long will it take to actually put the bodykit on the car? Thanks in advance.

depends on how busy your body shop is and if they run into any problems with the bodykit.
they should first test fit the kit to make sure everything is good and no modifications are needed. then they need to paint and clearcoat the kit so that'll take at least 2 days. wait to dry and then install.
so anywhere from 3-5 days...

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. So they will be able to install the bodykit on the car within a day if the bodykit is painted and would fit perfectly? Tell me if I'm mistaken. I'm more concerned about how many days I'll not be able to drive.

yes, 1 day to install after it is painted and dried...but it also depends on the kit you're putting on...sometimes your bumpers will need to be removed, etc...
also if you plan to have the body shop 'blend' the paint job with the rest of the car body...that will take more time...and money!!
