It'd probably cost you your first born child and a pound of flesh, because you have to take into consideration that this would be a "one-off" design that's strictly designed for your car alone. I'm sure if you were excellent at working with fiberglass, and had that kind of time and patience, you could save quite a bit on the labor. But I saw a few years ago how they designed a one-off kit for a Geo Metro, and the cost ran about as much as the car itself. I think, in terms of labor and parts costs, I'd look at paying somewhere in the 4k-5k range.

Erubini does this. you bring your car to them and i guess you help them design a kit for it. you should check out their site. its http://www.groundeffects.com. just dont make it look like that yellow max you saw.

you would have to ask them about that. i know the price is only $3000 for the complete kit. that includes them installing and painting it. the down side is that you have to give them your car for a few months.

Dammit you! Stop stealing my freakin ideas! GRRR This Black Widow kit? It needs to not have side vents and be less box looking. But that center opening would be great for you know what
