Anyone know any good sites that sell body kits for a decent price? I'm not sure what makes one more expensive than the other, I just think some look cooler than others. I'm looking into a paint job and I'd like to put some on before the paint goes on. 02'spyder

You can get them from eBay. The difference in price is in the material used. Polyurethane Vs fiberglass. Fiberglass sucks ass... because it cracks like a bitch. Polyurethane is too expensive.

None of them look cool... they are all an abomination.

People that buy that **** never really know what they are getting into. They DO NOT add value to the car... infact they make it harder to sell. They are heavy.. and ugly and everyone will laugh at you... apart from mexicans "dang meng.. thats hella tight homie" The cost of the bodykit is 1/4 of the cost. There is the cost of the peice of **** bodykit in the first place... and then there is mounting it... and then painting... it all costs $$$. Then maintaining it is an even bigger bitch. To fix small cracks and get it repainted your looking at 2k+. Expect that to happen a lot. It will start as a small road stone.. then spider out.

Still want a bodykit? Why would you want one in the first place?
