Hmm, wonder why mobile doesn't have an edit option?? Anyhow, to continue my last post... I just don't want to be screwed when it comes to paint etc because not much in the area or a place I trust. There is a place called unique edge, but really not diggin any of the cars around here I see with their sticker on it.

Maybe I should just do coils and wheels first? But then again, just doesn't feel complete without a kit imo. Don't want to really get springs either because I know ill eventually be disappointed and it'd be a waste of money. Decisions, decisions...

 

If you re limited on what you can get, this is the order I d go:
- coils
- wheels
- bodykit

Really think about the Vision for your car and what u want to accomplish. As far as painting goes, I ve used the same bodyshop over the years and they do great work.

 

^^ I agree with Tevi. That is the exact order of mods I am doin as well. And I am holding out on a bodykit for 2 reasons, 1) the $$ and 2) I don't want to F up a new bumper after getting lowered and know my limits of what/where I can and cannot drive.

 

Correct^^ Not to mention, studying and determining what "look" and theme you want for your end result will save you TONS of cash in the long run.

As for a bodykit and the cost of install, its completely up to the shop you're @, how busy they are, and demand for their work. Busy shops up here in the cities can charge anywhere from 5-800 bucks just to spray and fit a front bumper, let alone the sides and rear.

Depending on if its fiberglass or polyurethane, and how well it fits right from the distrubutor(most glass molds are AWEFUL), you will spend anywhere between 1500-2500 for full fitment, paint and install.

Also, keep in mind there are MANY shops that won't even touch aftermarket kits because they suck so bad for fitment, & don't know the materials that are all in them, so some refuse to work w/ them because they can't "guarantee" the curing of the paint to the material.

TAKE YOUR TIME searching for parts...you def PAY for what you get. 180 kits, autokits, true JDM parts and most polykits are DEAD ON fitment. ebay and knockoffs = junk. You'll end up paying even more $$$ then the cash you save on the knockoff kits just on bodywork to get them to fit and work.

 

ugh...just paid my tabs. Atleast I won't have to worry about them in the spring. $296-

 

Don't forget to take that as an itemized deduction on yo taxes!!!!!
