Default Body kits

Can anyone tell me who makes good body kits, I.E. Front and Rear bumper covers, side skirts, hoods. Also which companies should I avoid. I don't want any kits that make my car look like a ricer.

I'd be interested to know as well... I love the Saleen body kit people have pics of but have no clue where to find one for an 04 GT Convertible... *blush* I'm still trying to figure out where they're hiding the top when they take it down in those pics... Guess I need to do some more research.. hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

I just had the Fiberglass saleen style body kit put on my car---it ran about 450 for me but i am here to tell you the guys at Marks shop had a HARD time putting it on.---they even had to sand some of it down and a few more mods to make it work.---------you can look on ebay to find all types of kits and honestly they are not that bad priced---still alot cheaper than Cali------ Mustang----just kinda lean towards anything but fiberglass unless you are having a pro put it on for you-

Stay away from fiberglass body kits, FAR away. If you get a fiberglass kit youll end up with paint chipping within a month. Also fiberglass shatters if it gets hit. Get a urethane kit if your going to get one, saleen is always a nice choice, but everyone has them these days, get whatever you like

Any places in particular to look? On Ebay and any of the sites I've check, they're all fiberglass.

check out www.cervinis.com and www.mrbodykit.com. cervini's is expensive but ive never heard a bad thing about 'em other than price. i havent heard anything about Mr Body Kit, but, they got some nice kits for 'Stangs. thats what they specialize in. you want a (poly)urethane body kit. if you curb it, itll bend in, when you back off, pop right back out. more expensive but ALOT more durable than fiberglass. we want pics when you get it done, well, at least i do.
