How Much $?

I have a '95 Max SE and was wondering how much its gonna cost to :

Replace Front and rear bumpers with '97 spec bumpers
Replace '95 foglights with '97 fogs
Change Front headlights
Add stillen Bodykit to '97 package

Anyone who's ever done this kind of bodywork please step in. I'm trying to get a total number to save up for, since I'm under the impression that its gonna be big enough to require some creative saving.

Thanks

Well, your paint code is going to be expensive. Just for my front bumper alone painted I paid 350.00. Expect to pay the same for the rear.
You can buy the headlights used for around 100.00
You still need a grill and the corner lights for a complete front end swap.

Depending on what you have done to your car and how many miles you have, it might be cheeper just to buy a newer 97+ 4th gen. As FLAVOR_24/7 said, that paint is going to be expensive. Also if you don't have a 5-speed, now could be the time to pick one up.

You will paint it for cheap, or install it for cheap?
In all truth, the install is nothing major and Im sure he could do it himself.
He'd be better off just taking it all to the body shop, or better yet have the body shop aquire the parts(other then the headlights and Stillen kit) and have them install them, prep them, and then paint it all at once.

The paint issue is a problem . The stealership replaced my passeneger-side mirror , and it looks off-white compared to the rest of the car. I happen to like my autotragic Max, so replacing it with a 5-speed is an option of mixed blessings.

No matter what,though, I doubt the paint and bodykit install is gonna run past 5K, is it?

It shouldnt, i would think to paint the bumpers plus the kit would be around a "G"
