Question Your thoughts?????

I was wondering what the members here thought of only buying a front bumper. Is it something that should wait until you can have a full body kit, or go piece by piece if you can't afford it?

I've got a full Buddyclub2 kit right now. Isn't installed though ...

Since I got in a collision in October, I'm just going to have the body shop install the front bumper for now. I'll come back and get the sides and rear installed later. Sure, it's kinda dumb, but I just wanna get the car back to normal looking right now.

I got mine from racedynamics1 off ebay and the the kit needed mass bodywork, Thats one of the reasons my ride has been at the paintshop for twomonths. I love the look the boss/bomber kit though. Thats cool para, look forward to seeing it finished...laters

ps. I paid 500.00 shipped for the whole kit:
front bumper
rear bumper
side skirts

O and if you are looking for a bargin, check w/ your local car mod shops on the Exenon(sp?) body kit, Since wingswest is in limbo right now due to the VIS "buyout" Exenon has made a huge move to get massive market appeal by slashing prices! From my local shop "Street Styles" I can get the full kit for $500 including shipping... Just thought I should mention this since it is pritty cheap and a nice kit, full urithane(sp?). I have hear that fitment is simple too, dont know for shure, just what I have heard...

Wait to get the whole thing, because if you have each piece shipped seperately you will spend more in shipping then the kit is worth if you bought it as a whole.IMO

IMO i'd say wait and get the whole thing. however... i, like many others here, dont have all the money right away so i'm buying piece by piece. one thing though is im getting a lip kit so it doesnt look bad unlike some of those more agressive kits that give your car a funny look if not complete.

You can buy it one at a time but please don't do the bumper on its own.

Our cars have a high looking center without a lower front bumper adding to it

I rather save and go with the whole kit. The paint job is also cheaper by the set
