Zup everyone! Okay, check it. I was looking at HDK's website, and I see they have the Mira kit for the 2nd Gen's. In this pic, it looks like the Mira side skirts are overlapping the Turbulence Side Skirts. I didn't think that was possible to add other skirts to the Turbulence ones?
Also, how hard is it to rip off the front clip and the rear clip to add a body kit? I would assume the rear end would take a little more work than the front?
Also....does anyone know where I can find a better pic of the front end of this kit? I can see that it's a Big Mouth style front end, but it's not as cluttered as some of the other similiar kits.
Also, does anyone know what's all included with the "Best kit?" It looks like from this pic, it's just the front lip spoiler, and the turbulence skirts. $800 is a bit pricey if it's just those 2 things.
Anyway, I think I've pretty much figured out what I'm gonna do, as far as body kits go. I sold my Turbulence side skirts, but I kind of miss them. I'm thinking maybe getting another pair, and MOLDING them to the body. As for the front, I'm thinking something real custom. I'll wait and see if KORE comes out with a front end kit for the 2ng Gen's and go from there. And as far as the rear goes.....Hmmm.....still debating. Descisions, descisions, descisions. I have never taken this long to decide on a modification to my car. Any advice or ideas from you guys would be alot of help. Also, if there's anyone looking to sell their Turbulence skirts cheap, let me know. Anyway...I got some thinking to go do. Time to pull the car out of the garage and sit and ponder while staring at it. Maybe I can figure out that way. rolleyes.gif

Front what I understand, the Mira kits are not the best quality. In materials, and in fit. You would probably need to do a lot of prep work to the kit before and after fitment before painting.
The Cuda kit is a natural choice, but at $3000 some odd dollars, it's not cheap!
If I ever get my scanner up and running, I'll be posting up a lot of photos, so you can always reserve judgment till you've seen more second gen kits.

Cool..thanx guys. I've thought about the Cuda alot...but you're right...3G's is alot of moola. I would rather take half of that amount, get a really cool looking kit (or peices of different kits) and mold them on my car.
Guess I'll have to wait though and see. No big rush, because this winter when the car is in storage, is when I'll be doing most of my work. wink.gif Next spring is gonna be a fun time for 2K Lo&Show!

How much would the Cuda cost w/o any shipping at all? I know it was $3400 to the West Coast and $3480 to the East Coast. Hehe, I have two uncles that live in Cali...but I doubt either one would want to haul a kit from there to Florida for me rolleyes.gif
I was going to order the kit with the July group buy, but I descided to wait on it and spend the money on preformance parts, then do the kit as one of my last mods.
