Fu** I feel like a geek posting here! How much was your body kit/what kind? I saw some fuc*er get one for $700 installed. Is this close to regular?

$700 installed? He must have some really good connections. Usually it costs that much just to get a kit, much less get it painted and installed.

Well how much are you planning to spend... Price isnt everything you know... Let's say you get a kit for $500 (front, rear and sides) and the fitment is just terrible... Here's the question how much time do you think its going to take the body shop to make that fit? How much is that body shop going to charge you per hour for that? The reason why I spent the $1500 is for the fitment... I have no complaints about the kit I did install it myself and I had it painted for free... So anyway good luck with the kit hunting...
