It is the only kit I have ever owned on any of my cars, but I would say that it looked pretty nice. The only thing that pissed me off about it was the scratches on my bumper that it left.<br /><br />I don't know how much it would run brand new, I am imagining in the $400 range or so. I would suggest the whole body kit though, instead of just the rear. It looked kinda funny from the side, since the back of the car looked lower than the front (and yes, my car is lowered <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> ). <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>AZTECLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 674</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,14,17,8,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> so how much are you saking for it if ponygrl95gt doesn't like it?

It is black, but it probably should be repainted since it has a *SLIGHT* indentation in the paint where some bitch that parks behind me nudged the back of my car when she wasn't paying attention <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> (It really isn't bad at all). It isn't very noticeable unless you are a perfectionist, which I am <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> . I can send you pictures of it if you want.<br /><br />I'm no expert on the install, but I imagine for mounting hardware you would need a few bolts, a few adhesive strips for the back of the kit, and that's it. I suggest you call a body shop or something and ask them what kind of parts/labor is involved.<br /><br />If you have any more questions or want pictures, let me know and I will get them for you.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Brad<br /> <br /> <small>[ June 14, 2002, 06:55 PM: Message edited by: blackcobra98 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>AZTECLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 674</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,14,19,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> It's this one right?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.abcexclusive.com/images/auto_photo/xe800ra_s.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.abcexclusive.com/images/auto_photo/xe800ra_s.jpg</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>blackcobra98</b> <br /><small>Member # 1078</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,14,19,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by AZTECLX:<br /><strong>It's this one right?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.abcexclusive.com/images/auto_photo/xe800ra_s.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.abcexclusive.com/images/auto_photo/xe800ra_s.jpg</a></strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">yeah, the rear lower one around the exhaust tips. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>AZTECLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 674</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,14,19,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> cool...
