Roughly [USD] how much am I looking at to get a body kit installed?

Also, can I get the parts painted, and some touchup on the car its self, rather than the whole car?

u can do whatever you want as long as you have the money man. your best bet is repainting the whole car when putting a body kit on... im guessing (not totally sure sorry) 1000 dollars for a paint job... if you are going to do something do it to the fullest rather than the cheap way cuz if you do it the cheap way you will end up payin more in the end.

My car is wrecked in the front, and as soon as I get my hood, it'll be returned to stock, with brand new headlights, and KSpec Clear corners. The bumper has an indentation in it, where it was wrecked. I am not loaded, but I just tuned 18 & still live at home, so I don't have any major expenses, until Nov, when I move out. I am really trying to concentrate on this car.

That guy with the Cuda kit has got me inspired. It looks awsome. I was looking at that Zekon kit, but I don't intend on going turbo, so there is no need for that big gap in the front, it'd be pointless with no intercooler. The Cuda makes me think Dodge Intrepid [Don't flame me, I've always been a domestic guy though] and I like that. But on top of the grand or so it'll take for me to get the kit, how much is it going to cost me to get it installed.

it depends vastly on the fitting quality of the kit. you could definately do it yourself with ease if it is a good fitting kit. use the "shop" tab on www.hmaservice.com/webtech to take the peices off.

are you getting the kit molded?

THey said it man, it depends on the quality of the kit, the fit of the kit, molding or not, reinforcing or not, wiring for fogs and ect or not, paint type and the rep of the folks that do it.
