Body Kit?

[Bumpin03 10+ year member]

alright i got rear ended the other day and need a whole new back bumper. I got an estimate of $830 to get a new one from the dealer and have it installed and painted. I will be paid this amount in cash...it wont go to the repair shop. Im considering getting a body kit on my car. The kit will cost $750...but im hoping i can get a pretty good deal on paint and installation for maybe $300. You guys think i should get the kit?

i'm not a fan of the whole ricer scene, but that doesn't look too bad. i say go for it. just make sure to paint it and not leave it white, u might get made fun of for that

getting a new body kit is a good idea, but that kit is ugly as all sin...look around for different ones...

and dont leave it unpainted...thats a riceboy fad that is totally retarded...

i can get u a full body kit for WELL under that amount. with 750, u can prolly buy it and get it painted, u might need to fork over a few bucks tho after everything.

where can you get me a kit for 750 painted???

you guys are saying all this stuff about not liking the kit. try and find a body kit for a 99+ grand am gt. There was only one out for the longest time. That was the AED kit which is really really plain and it costs like $1800 because they had no competition. This kit is brand new and that is why it is left unpainted in the picture. The kits are on preorder and will be shipping out next week. That is why that kit is unpainted. Thats the first one they made and just put it on as a demo to show everybody. Plus i think it looks better then the AED kit for less then half the price. plus...i like the kit and isnt that what is most important //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif . If you had my car and had an opportunity to get it for like $3-400 total...would you do it? If i had to pay the full price of everything...no i wouldnt spend that much. But because of the accident...it almost seems to make sense.
