Body shops, body kits and labor costs.
 
If you followed my last few posts, I wrecked my 99 and the damage is so bad I would have to replace/repair every panel. In my quest to find replacement parts, I found this: cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350460473808

Now the question is this: What is a reasonable price to pay a body shop to have that kit installed and painted and will that kit replace all my panels? :dance:

If you really need to "replace or repair every body panel," then you need to buy a new car....

Not only is that body kit hideous and ridiculous looking, I imagine that the build quality is
nothing short of what one would expect to see a bunch of kids at a vocational school turn out . I agree with Cloudsurfer, if you need to replace or repair every body panel on your vehicle, then you need to buy a new car .

You wrapped the first one around a tree.. maybe $5k in driving lessons would be more beneficial :)

That kit is hideous. In addition, every 16 year old with an acura or honda will race you and you will look foolish...

Looking at the rear view of the finished model, the line from "Gumball Rally" comes to mind: "What's-a behind me is not important".
