If I can meet or think of anyone I'll keep it in mind.

If we lose another car the price goes up to $675 + donation for the donor car per bodykits etc.
$150 in shipping would probably be the extreme East coast and would be cheaper if it is shipped to a business address according to them. Shipping costs cannot be calculated until the kit is done and they see how much it weighs and the dimensions.
As soon as people get back to me, I can post all the details.

Ok cool. The only problem I have with getting the kit right now is getting it painted, and my stock rims will look like crap with the body kit on.....

If you get it now for the prebuy price you can always store it untill you get the money to paint it and rims can always come after as well.

As Nick said, do not think about the paint or wheels now. It can be painted at any time in the future and then buy wheels that go with the "look" you want for your car. Any kit or rear bumper you buy will have to be painted anyways. With the color of your car now, it would look sharp. You are going to keep the same color, right. Let me know what you decide. When this does happen it will go quickly.

I really don't want to pass this up, but I'm leaning towards getting things fixed that need to be fixed on my car before I get any kind of kit.

Update time.
The time frame for this to get done and when paulyb could have the car in LA is just to tight to use his car for the donor car. He is stationed in Japan in the military and is scheduled to get out in March and his car along with him will go back to the East coast or something like that. First off I would like to thank paulyb for offering his car in the first place, second is of all the people that have offered their cars are military people, it says something about GI's in general I think and I say thanks to all.
Now to the newest potential donor car, it is sburke who is another military guy. He is just waiting on commanders approval to go to L.A. Like joserivas, he needs a months notice but it's looking good.
Thanks dude!!!!!!
This and other reasons is why I always support our military guys. I had a chance to talk with some guys that had just got out of boot camp while on a business trip last week. We were at a restaurant at Lambert Field in St. Louis their views on our country and where they want it to be are amazing! The bad part was I could only buy drinks for 2 of them because they were all to young.
We are working out the details in PM's right now and should have all info ready after I get back from California on on Feb 7th. While I'm there I will not have my computer available, it will be in the hands of my companies IT guys. If I can post information sooner I will.
FYI, I called a bunch of junkyards in L.A. are and non had any Aleros except for a location that was given to me by another junkyard. He had an Alero that was T-boned and wanted $1600 for it and wouldn't even think about renting to us.

just let me know when you need the money about 2 or 4 weeks in advance that way I can put money aside for the spoiler. Cause every paycheck I put 200 bucks aside for the motor and well I guess I set my project back a bit just for this OSV spoiler.

If sburke gets the approval for a short leave, it will be due in 3-4 weeks. which is perfect timing.

After talking with bodykits over the last couple of weeks the payments will most likely go through me due to their policy changes on group buys etc. As soon as I know al, I will let you know on here and in PM's.
I did talk to sburke tonight, we need to work out some small stuff. Once that happens it should be good to go.
WTF happened on that post?
