Keep your eyes wide open the last two weeks in December thru January......very slow season for the aftermarket and the dealers are scrambling to unload old and overstock so as not to carry the inventory into the new year when new product is hitting the market. you will see these kits being dumped on ebay at half price and don't linger if the listing states a qyt of three with 20 day period, they will dump the add when those three are gone even if its day one. My Full F1 kit sold for $735 and I grabbed it for $325 shipped... body kit primer,paint,clear all under a grand......

IMO the customer service from MPD, Inc. sucks. Plus he charges more for the intake then Cold Air Inductions does.

I would buy it directly from www.coldairinductions.com and eliminate the middle man, and save yourself a few bucks.

BTW, it is a great intake, I am very happy with it. The customer support at Cold Air Inductions is awesome too.

I think he meant to use that site for other items, not just the CAI since they always sell other pieces for cars

IMO any body kit is going to be expensive, and not ALL SS's had that body kit (ahem my car) so really all you need is the 3.8 to be an SS wannabe

What's a body kit anyway, besides some extra material making your car heavier? Not great for the racing haha (I kid I kid, it's just my jealousy that it wasn't available from the factory in '00)

Wasn't trying to be rude, I just saw that it's currently inside the "Paint, Bodwy Work & Exterior" section, so your post seemed out of place.

nahh i'm sorry. i shouldn't have snapped like that. i was just having a hell of a night (refer to the vent/rant thread) so yeah i apologize for getting snippy at you, i was totally in the wrong there. but yeah apparently someone moved the thread bcuz i could have swore when i first saw the thread that it was in the forum section but its whatever now.

try Andysautosport.com they got body kits that are marked down like crazy.

i am going with extream demensions. on their site they are giving away free body kits for monte carlos. but you have to let them use your car for a month or so they can test it out. i woulsd not recommend that.

[ oh and the forum thing.....lmao, funnie.....somebody was going to get hurt. lol =]]

imo and 90% of members here would recommend oem ss high sport ground effect. they look better than any after market b-kits. i did had razzi kit i just didn't like how the side rocker pieces look..kinda ricey to me. just keep looking on craigslist or junk yard i'm sure eventually you get lucky and will find a set.
