if you are already "trying" to do it, than why are you aksing??
and no you probably can't get it done for $100...I've seen custom kits modled on before and if all you have to spend is $100, than hang it up.

if you find someone to do it for $100 then its probably gonna be a hack job, its not a close fit as you think and there are many things to take into consideration, modding is expensive, custom body work is even more money, if you dont have the funds then dont play the game, unless you plan on doing it yourself, but I wouldnt start out on that as my first project

What are you doing to you ww front that others here havent? Just curious since you say no one on this site will have. I know there are a few that has cut the bar out and the bottom of the bumper off to make it a wide mouth kit. If thats what your talking about then there are some on there that will be like it. Now if its something totally new then cool. I am all for being different.
I think the most original so far (besides the totally custom stuff of Stu and DaMax's friend) is seamax and his modified front, WW sides and modified Stillen rear.

The kit is a modified WW front, WW side valence and Modified Stillen rear.
The pieces are your average market prices. Check the internet.
Modifying the front was harder than I thought since cutting out that middle bar made the lower potion weaker and left 2 holes on the side of the inner lip. So I had to do bondo work and sand like crazy to reinforce the lower mouth portion. That cost about $50. The mesh $20 was painted red and repainted black later.
No modification was needed for the sides valences.
The rear valence I just made a template of stock exhaust cutout on it and cut the same pattern on the other side for the dual exhaust.
I put the kit on myself with a rivet kit $15, metal screws $2, 3m heavy duty double sided tape $10, and Automotive Goop $5.
Then took it to the body shop where they further smooth things out on the front lip with some more bondo and painted the kit $300.
Total is around $392.
The shop told me that they could have modified it the same way and painted for me for $420. Not a bad deal but it was more fun doing it myself.
BTW my custom grille was one of the originals made by Kaleb for you old school folks here on the Org and BBS.
