yea i would for sure paint it to match if i put it on, kinda like the idea from finch, keep the skirts sell the bumpers and get lip kits, i wonder how that would look?? anyone good with photoshop?? also the front bumper had a 6 in crack in it, it is in the fiberglass shop right now being totally redone, that way i can either sell it or put it on in great shape

Idk man! You got it for a great price, and I love the rear! I think it looks awesome! It looks pretty much OEM except for the nice looking air tunnels on the side and the lower rectangle. It doesnt look ricey at all to me, the front mayjust a TAD bit but IMHO I would put it on if I had one! Though, it is fiberglass....so you have to be careful.

One thing is that I have seen a few fiberglass fronts that have rock chips in them which loom pretty bad. However, if I ever got a kit there is a film maybe by 3m but I am not positive on that one? Anyways, its a clear film that protects paint from small rocks traveling up to 50 mph.

yea the front was a lil banged up and had a 6 inch crack and the fiberglass, probably from a speed bump or something, it's at the fiberglass shop now being completly refurbished, i do like it, one thing that concerns me though is my cars stance, if i put it on i would surly have to raise my coilovers up to get clearance for it, and my wheel and tires package is setup for no wheel well gap and when i raise it up i would have tons of gap there, meaning i would have to get bigger tires

I say put the whole kit on and put on an air system. Sounds like something a really smart person would do in your situation!

I think you can get a complete system for about $2400.00
