Default Is this a good package deal?

hey guys,
i need alittle help. i am brand new to this site and the import scene. I have a 00 accord coupe and looking to go crazy with it. I know some guy that is looking to get rid of some of his stuff for his accord and wants me to buy it. He is willing to give me- ground designs black widow bodykit with a urethane front bumper- black housing headlights- carbon fiber hood- obx coilovers- front camber kit and clear rear bumper lenses all for 1300 bucks. i am only 17 and i am not sure if this is a good deal or not. Everythig is brand new except for the coilovers that were used for a month- the headlights have scrathes on them from laying around but i think i can wet sand them out. Is this a good deal or can i get it cheaper somewhere else? if i can, where do i go? thanks for your help

You got to remember honda-tech members don't seem to like body kits. On the other hand I also have a 6gen accord and I like my black widow kit. It's not to aggressive. I would use the 1300 on something besides that stuff. I went with the all body stuff first and I wish I would have started with performance.

1300 is probably an ok, price cause an authentic BW kit with a urethane front is kind of pRICEY

dont do it!

spend the money on some true coilovers like some teins or apex ws and use the rest towards i\h\e.

you will be happier in the end and will also be less ricey

Look around on E-bay and other places and compared their prices to your friend's. I think that if you are buying all this stuff at 50% off original cost then it is a good deal. You also have to factor installation costs if you won't be doing the work yourself. Make sure you make an inform decision.

just do it and see how life works out

cant second guess all choices, in a year you ll know if you made out or not.. then you ll make your next choice on that factor.. experience and hands on is the best way to learn

good luck
