thx blkstang do u know like how much it will cost,?

ImpactStang · 01-25-2007, 07:04 PM

what kind of kit is it? if its not fiberglass i can do the front and sides easily, the rear can be a pain depending on what you get...

Cali Kustoms have done some work for me before, and they would probably charge much cheaper than USA will...only downside is when they get backed up, they get backed up like crazy

well if you get them genuine they will be made of good material and very simple to put on yourself...but if they are aftermarket fiberglass it will require more time and money to get they on...

thats good to know, i was actually looking on getting fiberglass, but thanks for the info impactstang any websites were i can get the good stuff?
?

streetstang03 · 01-26-2007, 11:24 PM

DO NOT GET FIBERGLASS! fiberglass will crack if you hit it on something, i.e. pulling too far forward in a parking space and hit the curb etc...

You want to get urethane and stay away from a genuine Saleen body kit if you go Saleen. Genuine Saleen body parts are KNOWN for their crappy quality and intensive prep work to get them to look somewhat decent on the car. The Saleen parts will take a lot of money to be prepped properly to look good.

IMO, go for a Roush kit or mix and match. 01 Cobra front bumper, Cobra R hood, 03 cobra side skirts, and some sort of rear bumper. just my .02

FnSweet06 · 01-26-2007, 11:32 PM

if your stang is a daily driver i wouldn't recomend fiberglass. it will crack easy and all the lil' rocks on the road will do damage.

yeah only good thing about fiberglass is that you can fix it if that happens if you get a tear in a urethane your SOL, but i love having urethane, its much less i have to worry about. i would rather scrape a bit now and then then have to have parts of my bumper falling off on the highway...

Not true. Iv'e fixed tons of urethane bumper covers with tears.
As to how much it costs, depends on if you want it seamless (not recommended IMO) or just painted to match. How well it fits to begin with will effect the price too. Most after market parts need work to fit properly. I'd say at least $1500 at most shops.
