Chicago area guys....I'm working with a body shop...ANYONE WANT A TL KIT ON THIER CL?

I have a call into Mastercraft Auto Rebuilders....the owner is going to call me with a price on doing the conversion....and he thinks he can get it done for around $2K! This place specializes in Corvette repair and they also do boats and alot of custom work, so a body kit "isn't a big deal"! He is going to call me back and let me know for sure....but he might be able to cut some sort of deal if I can get a couple of people that want to do it! When he calls me with a price...I'll let you guys know ASAP! He did say he would need the car for 5 working days....but I think it would be worth it!

IGGY's in norridge for the exhaust. Weber auto in niles for the brakes and the pully and Garage Kwai in arlington heights for the coilovers and swaybars. Everything else was me. Hopefully with my tax return I'll be going back to Garage Kwai for some headers.

2k just to put it on seems a little high priced. i thought it was supposed to be around $1500 or below to do that. but if 2k includes them getting the kit and customizing and installing then that is pretty damn good

I think the point was that since the TL kit already exists, it would not cost a mint to make it fit the CL. A brand new kit would cost much more, and would almost definitely be made of fiberglass.

Isnt fitting the same as install? :o


TL's kit comes painted already from the factory.

And yes Nicky said EVERYTHING for 2k.

Everything = Install +kit = CL with a bodykit

How hard is this to understand guys

even tho the TL kit already comes painted from the factory there are some colors that the CL and TL don't share in common like Taphetta White

They have to modify it anyways....so you get it unpainted from acura....thus making it cheaper...then have it painted to match. The side skirts have to be shortened....so they'd have to cut them anyways...which also means they have to be re-painted.
