Thanks for the info.

you know what im only interested in the sides and rear anyways, perhaps it will be quite a bit cheaper that way.

i just called a local dealer and the price for the sides is 370 + tax

the rear bumper is 500ish +tax.

I would like to source a used bumper if possible--ill check the classifieds

youre paying for quality fittment compared to your 600 junk. Youre going to spend at least 1grand to make a 600 kit look decent and it still wont look like shine or anything else that cost $$. oem97 full kit is over 2 grand complete + you need to paint it. If you cant afford 1200 for a kit, just keep the body stock.

when it comes to body kits, you get what you pay for. it wouldent be the same result as shine, vertex etc. and no one should support knock-off brands. just throwing that out there

i'm loyal to no brand and support quality, lets see do i want to spend 3grand and wait months for a real A/C when i can get shine for less then half of the price. Quality you say ? Just ask Cherplex he used to have a/c and said that if he had to do it again shine would be the way to go after he saw the fitment in person. I would support knock off wheels too if they made a knock off BBS/work/SSR just as light and also 3 piece for half the price but thats not going to happen.
