That's ugly as sin.

But you'll have enough aerodynamics to keep you down low on the track right?

any ebay body kit requires a massive amount of body work especially widebody.

however, if your seriously thinking of purchasing the kit please drop the keys and step away from the vehicle!!

For what it costs to get a body kit on and painted I think I'd rather have a set of gramlights.

Lol, that's the demo picture for the bodykit, and the lines on it STILL look horrible! Someone put a lot of work into making that kit look the best they can make it, for SALES reasons, and the body lines STILL look like dogshit!

Anywho, I guess you already know my stance on aggressive wide bodykits, but I would stay away from this one even if I didn't mind them.

Lol, just realized I didn't answer the OP's question. Yes, it will require a bunch of that crap people use for car REPAIRS, called bondo, a lot of money for labor, and very little shame to put that on your poor car. If you must go widebody, I'd suggest against this one.

I think youd do the car more justice by pushing it off a cliff.

But its your car.

this is the problem both my rear , doors, and side fenders has lots of dents and some major. i took a estimate at one of the local body shops with my mechanic friend from cosco and it would cost 1500 with paint and pop out all the dings .. i was just going to replace the side fenders and the rear panel and leave stock the oem front and back bumper .. and maybe put the side skirts on ..


ps i know the front and back bumper looks bad but i think it would look ok with the rear panels, front panels and sideskirts.

That makes sense seeing as how few people want that atrocity on their cars.

It's not 1998 anymore guy, the automotive world has moved on to more worthwhile modifications.

Then put that money somewhere that it counts, I'm not trying to down your taste in cars or anything but even if you do like it it's going to be more trouble than it's worth.

wide body kits take hundreds, mabye thousand of hours of bodywork and no matter how expensive the kit is it will still take some modifications to make it fit nicely.

dont waste your time

Fixed.

I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it would take thousands of hours of bodywork...
