that is a great deal. i thought about buying one of those tools to do the same thing! lol

Speaking of craigslist.... if anyone here is interested in the mint blue bodykit, this guy is selling it here:

http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/1839568655.html

his ad is very vague, but i asked him out of curiosity. includes only front/rear bumper.

Need Opinions

Ok the deal on that Mint Body Kit is good. The seller will not seperate and wants $300 for the front and rear. We are getting a $530 check for the damage on the LY. It currently has the apperrance package side flares and front splash guards. I would get a body shop to repaint these which are NG now and the seller had them mounted before. how would this front and rear look???

LY now

personally I think you need the sides to complete the look. just put the front on and sell the rear?

that's what i was thinking but who would want just the rear? that is why the seller would not sell just the front... Oh well gonna look at some other options...

Anyone want to go halfs and buy the rear????

Got a call from a local wanting to look at the car this weekend... said he's ready to write a check if he's comfortable with everything.

Where's a good place to get a good, cheap wash? Also, where can I get that cigarette lighter before then? lol

happy belated bday 9k! damn there's so many bday's this month that i swear i missed someone. lol

Regarding that mintblue kit, i passed for the sole reason that i only like the front. haha
if i did put the rear on, i'd probably black-out the lower part where the exhaust shrouds are...similar to the way the factory bumper is.

Ok Wife decided since it is her car we are gonna pass on the bodykit and just get an appearrance or aftermarket front lip and have the frontend repaired, lip installed and painted...
