the kit was just over $400 shipped from ebay. here it is. i had nothing but problems installing it tho. if you plan on molding it on completely, then its worth it because i had to cut a ton of plastic to get it to even kinda fit. side skirts fit like shit too. everything is supposed to fit over all the stock parts, but they are about the same dimensions. so ive got side skirts that kind of bow out where theyre mounted, and are starting to split. and bumper covers that i had to hack off the whole mounting tab on both sides to get it over the stock bumpers. ill get some pics of all the crappy stuff at some point, just to show everyone its not perfect. thank you for all the compliments tho.

so i just spent about an hour fixing all the little issues with the kit, and im a bit happier with it now. the only thing i dont like is how the front bumper does not line up with the side skirts. the sides sit about 4 inches from the ground right behind the front tire, but the bumper in front of the tire is about an inch higher. i found this on ebay, and figured it might give me that inch or so. itll match my flat black and white theme, i just dont know how good it will look.

ya, that lip thing is just extruded foam rubber. probly cud b found at home depot.
ttop91, i thought so too before i put them on. then i did and changed my mind.
and clutch1, i used a spray gun. the car (doors, hood, all that) is filthy...really filthy. and the kit is bright and clean. so it may look like completely different colors. im wishing i washed it before i oput the kit on, but o well. itll all b dirty soon enough.

I love that kit..its the 2nd best IMO, and I kinda wished I would have kept both kits...for two cars...anyways...on to the wheels...since you have a "whiteout" theme goin on, with no chrome in sight, I would go with some white5 or 6 spoke dish wheels, of have those powdercoated..i love the razzi ground effects.
