My assumption would be, providing if the kit or pieces are sold at a reasonable price from cost, the mods would not remove it.

This would really suck for some who paid 1100 and now want to sell their kit, they would pratically be giving away their kit.

Then again there is always e-bay or craigslist

Price gouging
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Price gouging is a term for a seller pricing much higher than is considered reasonable or fair.
that's correct. we all know the prices that carson put up recently, and most of us already know who have the kit already and who just purchased. if you purchase the kit with the discounted price, it's ok if you sell the kit to cover your cost or at a reasonable price. but if you are trying to make a profit by selling at a much higher price we will not allow that per forum rules. thanks for understanding

and also, all FS or WTB posts please put them up in the classified. i have already moved a few posts there. any potential price gouging posts are removed, and if you want to sell, please post in the classified and a price

thanks

Got my kit today. but probably can't install it till Thanksgiving. body shop said they might need car for 3-5 days to install. I can't string those days together w/o any secondary transportation. Will need to do it over the Thanksgiving holidays when wifey is out on school break.

You guys can honestly install the kit yourself and save lots of money. Its THE EASIEST kit ive ever installed in all my years of modifying cars. They fit like a glove, all you guys need is a power drill, all the screws come supplied from Carson. Takes about 30 minutes.....no joke. Matter of fact the front lip and rear lip fit so tightly that you wont even need screws to hold it in place.

color matching my crystal white pearl and paint prices are my main concern. I went to a couple shops and they wanted over $1100 to do it. With the holidays and such coming, I don't feel like spending the money until next year.

ill be doing the install my self. im just trying to find a front lip so i cant get it painted all at once. I think the best thing to do is to just bring the parts you want painted to the shop and when there done bring them home and put them on the car.

if you're in the orlando area, i heard a shop called a-class auto body does a great job on pearl paint jobs, from what i've seen, they took a G35 and touched up the pearl paint job that he painted ferarri yellow, this was from out of state too!

Anyone wanna try painting it themselves. I used to paint years ago and it's not as hard as people think. The power sprayers they have these days make it kinda easy.
The hardest part is keeping it in a dust-free place in between coats.

I want to see more pics of the kit. I think the price is really amazing. I just don't like the strange opening in the rear bumper lip
