Body Kit help
 
Crashed my 8 bent the frame and wheel arms. Airbag came out. Did almost no body damage except for some scraps on the side vail and front lower bumper. I want to get a kit but have a budget. I looked around and saw some that got my eye. Im trying to keep the parts for the kit within 1000 not the paint job because i also need new rims cracked 2 the oem so i will get 4 set better ones which will cost me alot. I like the mazdaspeed and someone has a look alike urethane with the MS grill for $850. I seen pics of the one that he has and it looks fine. But i heard about it being crap. My shop said to get the urethane because of fitting. Also dont see enough pics of the xmen kit for a black car, would want that one if it looks nice. If anything I would get the veilside. Any suggestions.

Also would like a hood but not the carbon fiber color. Dont see alot of hood choices. Have some dents on mine. Will pay for that separate

Carbon fiber is a material, like poly-urethane, fiberglass, etc, not a color :)

The Mazdaspeed kit is one of the more expensive authentic kits for the car. There's plenty knock-off kits out there however they're all made of thin material that will crack and have an extremely high chance of fitting very poorly. The total cost, to get your kit, get it to fit, and paint it will come out to close to what the authentic kit costs. Not even worth the headache IMHO.

If you do decide to go with a knock-off stay FAR away from Extreme Dimensions. They make the worst knock-offs out there. For decent replica kits though you can check out Shine
