Default Body Kits

Hello all...

I am thinking of putting a body kit on my car. However a few things I am wondering. I see several 6 piece sets out there... just wondering what they include?

I have some damage on my car that I need to get repaired, but thinking I might as well just do a body kit since I am going to spend money anyway. The areas on my car that have damage are:

Front Bumper - key or scratch mark
Rear Bumper - minor cracks (backed into a pile of ice...d'oh)
Rear Quarter Panels - was never aligned quite right after an accident where someone ran a red light and hit me... also a nice dime size paint chip on the passenger side rear panel
Front Passenger Quarter Panel - unfortunate incident involving scraping against a snow shovel hanging on the garage wall... has touch up paint but kind of obvious

Just wondering which of these areas would be fixed by a body kit...
Thanks!

they will generally include:
front bumper (front fascia)
rear bumper
2 x side skirts
2 x door fillers (little pieces that make the side skirts flow better with the doors

they won't be much help for your quarter panels.....

I think a rear spoiler will finish the deal with any body kit.

Make sure this time, to take that car to a decent bodyshop. Stay away from amateurs!!
Quarter panels issues will shave a lot of Dineros off the resale value of the car, should you consider selling it later on.

Good luck.
