Hey guys, Ive been searching all morning about body kit info...

A buddy of mine recently slammed me in the rear while I was stopped at a light at about 15 mph... dunno how my rear end isnt sitting in my back seats but it looks as if it just got scratched a hell of a lot. The bodyshop gave me a 2500$ estimate on it so im thinking of just taking the money and going with a full cuda 2 body kit and repaint the entire car silver.

My question is, where can I get a quality Cuda 2 that will fit faily well and have nice duability while not costing craploads? Also, does anyone know what it would cost to have a faily decent paint job in silver? my stock paint is silver.

for the paint, just go to a nice paint shop around you, not a maaco. as for the kit, i got mine from ebay through evofusion i believe it was. it turned out to be 650 shipped or something like that and fitment is really good. the sides were a little to short and the rear is a little to tight around the tails. but overall its good. i should hve some pics of the fitment in the showroom section somewhere. the original cuda 2 kit is called the MPS i believe and you cant get it over here or maybe not anywhere. at least not with some big bucks

How is the shortness of the side skirts corrected? should I just take it to a shop and have it done, and if so, would it cost me an arm and a leg?

i would just like to vouch for the cuda II front, i have had it for the past 3 years, and it has held up through potholes, being cracked on the tow truck, etc.. the quality is AWESOME.. i got the front for 500$shipped, directly from team SR and the shipping was lighting fast.

heres a pic.



well paint is one of those things, that you want to get done right.. but the price can vary sooo much..

i had my car painted 3 years ago, it cost me 800$ including body kit installation, clearcoating my CF hood, doing body work, AND shaving my antenna.. it has held up great and still looks AWESOME.. but it would be hard to come across a deal like that..

i would say, just for paint, look at spending 1500$ for a complete good job.. including sanding, prepping, primer, paint, clear.. and it should be a decent paintjob.
