Question Body Kits - Where to get?

Ok, as some might know, I recently had a few fender benders and I'm looking to get a full kit for my car now. I've been so busy in the last year with school and work (both full time) that I don't have a clue on where to start. I want something nice, not too expensive, and pref. urethane. Please point me in the right direction.

don't worry, it'll probably change in a couple of days. In the mean time, get back to work.

Now lets answer the man's question.

Do you want something agressive or mild? If you want mild, go for either the Aero kit or the OEM kit. Both are nice. It's hard to give you suggestions without being a lil more specific. :/

Ok, I'm looking at the Kaminari after talking with Yvette (SpdRcrChk) today. Here's the specifics of what I'm looking for:

Not too expensive (~900 for the kit)
Not too agressive
I would preffer urethane but will get fiberglass
I'd like the full rear bumper instead of just the rear lip (like the Kaminari)

I guess that's about it. If I get the Kaminari I'll need to have my rear bumper fixed and repainted (about $150 for the fix and the paint doesn't matter, it would get painted anyway) so I'd almost rather it came with it.

Thanx for the suggestion guys and girls. I would like to see the kits installed on a car first so I'm waiting until I get to DC and hopefully there will be a meet where I can check some out. If not I'm going off what I can see on the net.

Go to Aerotrends.com

They have the best prices anywhere. $250 for a urethane Tsunami bumper? Thats insane. I was elated by that price when I bought it

You're going to have to look at the descriptions. It will say full front bumper, side skirts, and full rear bumper. If it says rear lip then you'll need to repair yours.

That's my thing right now, I'd rather buy a new one than repair but the Kaminari looks so nice that I'm tempted to just fix mine.
