Hey guys,
Still no luck on that body kit... but im tryin... i actually had a question for those of u who aalready have one on...

Will the bottom of the kit scrap on small inclines/declines if i DONT drop the car? because i noticed alot of places my normal route takes me has alot of wat would seem to be close shaves, atleast they would be with the kit. anybody have an answer?

small inclines/declines should not be a problem, JUST GO SLOW. you have to be careful most of ur problems with scrapping will be on ur front lip if ur not careful.

 

ahhh see thats the problem. u gotta define a small incline. lol. cause the inclines seem a little steep. i mean when im driving i like, get the feeling that it definately would hit. a friend of my with a type S told me that if you dont drop the car theyre be very lil trouble with scratching... o well... looks like im gonna have to hold onto some extra touchup paint. eh. okay... well thanks guys. if anyone else has a diff thought id like to hear.

 

I have a body kit on my car with 19's and dropped and i haven't scratched it yet and i have gone over some speedbumps and up driveways

i hope that helps

 

Bodykit with no drop, you will not have a problem with it.
Even with the bodykit on, our car still has alot of clearance.
I through ran over a curve :banghead: and was lucky enough not to scrape/scratch anything.

 

good to hear. it sounds funny me worrying about hills when i live in FL. But maybe thats part of the problem. every like business or house wants to elevate it a bit. eh. okay... well muchas gracias guys. im pretty much set at ease then.

what did u mean by still no luck on that body kit? what yr TL do you have? if you cant find one, check out ebay.

 

oh i simply meant i dont have the money pulled together quite yet. but i know its on my to do list. last time a put a post up... like before this one, i asked about paint color. so for those who read it, was just letting them know. n Ebay doesnt work to well when your car is gold. lol. pretty uncommon for the tl.

 

im lookin for a 99 black kit. i heard some are marked down because of the discontinued color?

 

on ebay they were selling a kit for '99-01 for $390 (buy it now) the problem is it was mistmatched paint. the side skirts were one color and front lip and rear lip were other colors. i think one of the parts was gold.

 

Wow really? thats insane! but any idea on how much getting the side skirts painted would cost? because i know this site gives the full kit for like 800+ which is steep but its not as bad as other places.... but hell for 400 it cant total a cost more than 800 to get them painted! could you get me the link? or wat did you type in for the search?

 

call your dealer and ask if they still have or can get Black Flameco bodykits. that color is only on 99 and so it is a discontinued color. I have it with midnight pearl and you cannot notice a difference. I got mine from the dealer for $350. front and rear lips + 2 side skirts

 

i found the link... here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2418012284

you better decide quick.

 

even with the bodykit...our cars are higher then most if not all of the competitors...maxima..3 series..IS...ther all lower stock..our cars are mad high

 

Ohh hey for that Ebay link, i have an 01, so it wouldnt fit my car... n thanks njtls... good to know that its fine for most people so i shouldnt have a problem. i guess ill prolly just look at one off of this site. its a decent price to come painted and all.

 

the kit is for '99-'01 so it WILL fit.

 

it said 99-00... im pretty sure... ill chekc again

 

hell yeah they are. I was comparing it to my friend g35 the other day and dang!! his is low!! i have kit with no drop and still have at least two inches more clearance than his.

 

yea i just noticed that too... but the body kit WILL for a fact fit the '99-'01 model, i am more than 100% sure and anyone else will tell you the same.

it will NOT fit the '02+ because the front is a little bigger for it.

 

ohh kk... see in that case it sounds really good... but how much would it cost to get 3 pieces painted (the side skirts n the back bumper)... because i know the site itself sells the whole kit painted for a reasonable price... would the full painting on the three come out to that? This owuld be the first time im getting anything painted for a car so i wouldnt know even what to guess.

 

im not really sure but a guess would be less than $300 maybe? go to a body shop and ask them how much it would cost to paint 3 pieces of a body kit.

 

Yea i guessed about the same... abount 350-400 i was estimating. i think ill do that today, find a body shop and ask them the cost and what not... that way i can just use the Buy It Now feature and not worry about the bid going too high. because i bleive its still only at 250ish which is a total STEAL if i got it near that price... but someone else is bidding on it aswell so we'll see.

 

stolen maybe....
