Default $300 Damage = $3000+ Upgrade

Ok, so if anyone has been following my earlier thread, I made a dumb mistake and scratched the paint off of my front bumper and I cracked it a little bit. Easy fix...

So now, I've decided to (hopefully) get the following:
- Cervinis C-Series Front Bumper #3347
- Cervinis V6 Coupe Side Exhaust Kit #8037
- Cervinis Mustang Ram Air Hood #1171

Link to Cervinis site for reference...
https://www.cervinis.com/product.asp...1&id=1208#1171

Originally I wanted to go cheaper but I think my plan now will be to get the parts all at once and then save up to get them painted and put on.

So, now for the questions. Are these good choices? First impressions (Wow, that will look sick, or Wow, he's a moron...)? How much will the labor cost on this (paint and installation)? Could I install all of this myself or does it need to be done by a professional?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hunter

Cervinis makes quality products and several people (saddleup, mygt500, caution) all have products from them on their rides. They might chime in or you can PM them about the details. I know you can do some yourself but you might as well have the body guys do it since they do have to prep and paint everything anyway. Good luck!

Thanks again Matt...... the OP will not be disappointed and if I remember correctly we have PM'ed each other a few times while deciding on which way to go with the kit! Congrats and I know how you feel about the appearance modding bug!

You are going to need 20" wheels after you do that. Anything less just doesn't look "right"

Ahhhhhh man...

Had to burst my bubble...

+$1000 to the total...

Haha thanks for the input. I think I'll get the body work finished up and then look into 20's. I'll be alright with it not looking right while my wallet regains composure after the shock.
