Default Body Kit Help

Hey there-

I recently had some body damage due to an accident and now need to have a body kit installed. Here's the kit im interested in:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270194555509

I drive a Red GT Coupe. Does anyone have experience with this kit or any others that they'd recommend? I'm trying to keep costs low with this adventure. Any body kit at or lower than $1,000.00 is what I'm hoping for. I'm a minister- we don't make a whole lot.

Also- if anyone knows of a decent body shop in the New Jersey/ Philly area, I'd love to know. I want to bondo out the body lines and paint on the stripes when I get this work done, so I want a quality shop.

the cost of that kit + paint + install will put you well over $1000...even if you isntall it yuorself im sure paint costs alone will still be over

I meant the price of the kit itself. I have about $4,000 to budget for this project (was saving for a sc). The other stuff is extra- but I'm trying to keep the cost of the kit at or under $1,000.00

I'd say you'd be lucky to get it all installed and painted for $1000, with no body work. No experience with that kit, sorry.

I'm pretty sure StreetScene makes great parts. Ask ANBauto, he knows.
