Body Kit

Alright so Im looking to get a body kit for my car. Nothing like the R33 kits or anything like that, its actually a stillen kit. I wanted to know if anyone knows about how much it will cost to have it installed and painted.

Heres the kit...

paint will be a few hundred bucks, but install it yourself. dont pay someone to install something that easy.

Damn you would think after posing 172 posts you would have come across MANY maxxes with stillen kits on them. Just look around at people's sigs.

the stillen kit is just the lips right?

Where could I find whole front/back bumper kits...that look close to the same. I have looked at a few diffrent sites...and none of them are very appealing.

yes, the stillen kit is just a lip, not a whole bumper. the sarona rear bumper looks pretty good. cant think of any whole front buympers that look as good as the stillen lip.

Look around at different kits, and i mean if you come across a certain front you like, side skirt, and rear bumper then buy it, even if its not from the same company. It'll give your car a unique look. IMO, alot of max's on here have the stillen lip which is like another scenario with evo 5's lol.. its a trend :-x.. Try something different to make your car stick out.

If your front is damaged then why not get another OEM front then get the lip? Im sure with a little searching you can find another OEM front for cheap.

Basically....I need a new front and back bumper...and rocker panel. I figure by buying a kit...i can replace the bumpers for cheaper and cover the rocker with a skirt. The OEM stuff is little to expensive. 1400 just to fix the rocker.

Like I said, a little searching helps. I just got another OEM for $75 and it was already pearl white so I didnt have to worry about painting it.

i have the R32 kit, i tried to put it on myself, i started with the rear just because it would be easier, but i cant get it on with my darn muffler in the way. it really sucks so i guess i have to take it to get done. Oh yeh, i got quoted 1800 from one guy to put it on and paint the whole car. tooooo much for me!

I went to my body shop and they said $415 painted, installed, and molded to the car if I wanted it. Plus a little extra for paint because of my color. Anyone have a molded kit? I wanna see pics so I can see if I like it.
