Anytime you want a full body kit, and then a full repaint of the car, you're already looking at blowing an 8-10k hole in your wallet.

Light weight wheels - depends on the price range. Go look in the wheels/tires section for suggestions.

You are looking at around $6,000 just to R&I everything and repaint using quality materials like PPG Envirobase, Spies Hecker, etc. Doing a color change correctly is a ton of work and everything has to be pulled apart. Then add all the body labor to fix the damage on the car, to get the body kit to fit perfectly and you are looking at another $2,000 at least.

Im an estimator at a large dealership body shop and that is my best guess for pricing without writing an estimate or seeing the car. Sure you can get it done cheaper but the quality of the job will suffer.

agreed lmao

how about a dark dark gloss purple

Hmm, the green with black wheels does look pretty good...

Does anyone know of a good body kit that is street friendly (as opposed to some which look like they are so low that one pothole would rip the front half of the car off lol). I had originally looked at the Hot Wheels kit, but a friend of mine pointed out how low the front bumper is... it wouldn't last a day in Los Angeles.

if you're worried about it that much, then just get a lip and be done with it.

i drive with the amuse kit around los angeles just fine...few scrapes here and there but nothing serious.

well lime green is always fun.

Verde Ithaca is my favorite color for a car, however make sure the car is aggressive enough to sport it.

ballparks and I think Im going on low end of first two.

$3000 for authentic body kit(full)
$6000 paint job(assuming your looking at gallardo or murcielago paint codes)
$3500(quality rims)
$800(rims custom powdercoated a gloss purple(special paint code again))

After all is said in done I bet, out the door, youd be paying around $15k
