im wanting to do some body modification im not sure what to do maybe a stock ss body kit does anyone know how much they cost i know their pretty pricey but itll look nice huh? what are some other ideas, all i got now is the street trim painted but i backed into a snow(ice)bank and tore the Shlt out of the paint on the rear bumper.

 

the stock high sports package will be quite pricey figure ~$1400 then you have to do cutting into a bumper to make them fit.

 

14... what?? man i knew it would be pricey but i was thinking 800 pricey, i could get an aftermarket for cheaper but thoes look to jap. any other ideas???

 

Stick with what you have? I used to be dead set on getting a body kit for my car, but now I don't think I need one. That money can go for so many other things.

Aftermarket ones will also be tricky, being fiberglass and such they will need a lot of prep work to fit properly and everything plus the cost of paint.

I also never saw a picture of your car, so it's hard to help

If you can plug your camera in and get the pictures off the memory card, go to photobucket.com and create an account then you will be able to upload your pictures on that and post them here

 

will do.

 

If you start messing with body kits, there is always the issue that it won't line up. You don't know that if you buy a stock kit that everything will line up perfectly. I know, I know, made to OEM specifications... well I've messed with that stuff in the form of car restoration and let me tell you, sometimes it will fit perfectly, alot of times it is just slightly off but can be easily made to fit, and sometimes you have to think somebody is crappy at measuring or quality control went out to lunch. The trick to making any of that stuff is measuring... anybody can cut and drill and weld, but you got to know where to cut and weld to. It doesn't take being off much in measuring to make something not fit! So that's that rant.

A body kit is all about personal preference. If you want to go take a stab in the engine and transmission and exhaust sections, numbers can be posted as to what works and what doesn't. When you start talking about aesthetics of a car, then it's nearly impossible to be wrong as long as you like what you have done and are satisfied with the price you paid for it. Happy hunting!

 

nope ive decided against a body kit i like my LS look with my painted street trim, so yeah forget the body kit. but i got a kinda funny story i was on my way to get some new brakes today and youll never guess what is saw>>>a monte with one of those body kits off of ebay. if youve ever looked on there its the one with the jap writing on the pic of it(im laughing at this point) but any way it crusin down the highway and the side skirts are just a flappin away i thought it was gonna fly away.
