there's something to be said for a slightly non-stock look compared to the silly looking kits...

if you do a body kit i would go with urethane, fit it up yourself, then take it to the shop to be painted. i would get the whole car repainted with the body kit so you have the same color all the way around. colors do not match up perfectly.

$600 is what I paid last time. We supplied the paint, and the kit fits PERFECT. If the kit is a POS, they are going to charge more obviously.
