Hi guys,
I have been thinking about buying a body kit or just some of the parts so I can mix and match as I please. Can any one tell me what companies make the best kits or parts? Also I'd like to know if the kits come pre drilled and if the mounting hardware comes with them?
Any Information would be a big help. Thanks.

"the VERY best way to go!?!?!?" Why don't you let people make their own decisions about what looks good for them.
If u want cheap, I put together my kit for 100$. It took a little fiberglass work and trimming to fit right, but if you are not a retard this is easy to do.

get a 97+ those are so rare and no one has them. lolol. if you have money burning in your pocket try inspection kit. or just simply do the stock bodied with oem parts. sc400 lip mudflaps and voila lol... theres also Vertex, BN Sports, Auto Couture(or Shine), etc

In MY opinion the 97+ is BY FAR the best way to go, for one they are made from the best quality, best fitment, look better then MOST kits , id also say they help resale value
Sorry Chris but that is MY opinion after weighing all the options, I wont recomend someone take their chances on a cheap aftermarket kit when we have access to such a nice OEM one.
still a bit confused by your harsh reaction though

Check this thread on Aero Parts (kits).
Take Your time developing your eye/tastes if you have not. A kit and paint is a fragile yet pricy commitment, make the right move the first time.
Good Luck

A lot of the pictures from the earlier part of the thread don't work anymore, but this should cover most of the body kits you'd be able to get a hold of in the states.

As for some of the "best kits" the general idea is that (real) vertex (supposed to have perfect fitment) and 97+ kit (oem fitment) along with several others are going to be your easiest choices requiring little to no fitting. At the moment I can't think of the other really well fitting kits because it's so early but they're in the above thread. Good luck and have fun collecting parts for your kit!

I'd say the most popular kits for the SC are Auto Couture and Vertex. Can't go wrong with either of them, but I don't think there have been other kits that caught my eye that I'd prefer over AC or Vertex :\
