Make sure you find a good body shop that can fit it, finish it, and paint it and get an estimate from them so you know what the total you'll have to spend will be.

Other than that it looks like a heck of a good deal.

I think the MS body kit looks great.

IMHO, you should buy the authentic kit. I purchased a urethane replicat kit but ended up returning it and purchased an authentic one. The cost after preping, painting, and installing will be expensive and might not look as good as the authentic kit.

Well the authentic kit is quite a bit more for the whole thing comparatively. Trussville quotes about $2700 plus shipping for the painted ready to go parts without the wing so you still could save some money if a body shop could do the whole thing for you for less than $2000. Other than that the Metton of the MS kit is more flexible than fiberglass so it will be more damage resistant and bend rather than break when you hit a curb etc.

Not a bad deal, but for me I woulda spent the extra money for the real thing. After considering the cost of paint and prep to get it to fit right.

Sorry, this is the first time I've been online since you posted. It looks like you pulled the trigger, so I hope it works out for you. The price is definitely a good one. I don't think the black cars have a pearl clear coat, so there shouldn't be any blending required. All in all, you'll probably come out ahead, if it fits.
