if you do indeed decide to get a body kit, I would suggest sticking to polyurethane. Fiberglass will crack and you'll have to maintence the kit (bondo//re-fiberglassing//spray painting).

Look to spend $1,000-1,500 for the kit and then spend about $1,000-3,000 for a paintjob.

anything less, and your car will look stupid like everyother poorly fitted body kit ricer mobile out there.

so you ask yourself... is $2,000-3,000 worth it.

There isn't a whole lot available; the good stuff is kind of rare for these cars. Just a lip and if you wanted, some side skirts and/or a rear vallance or lip. IMO, these cars look much better WITHOUT a gay body kit.

so you ask yourself... is $2,000-3,000 worth it.
On a $2000-$3000 car? Not in my book...

The FIRST thing to do on one of these is to make sure everything is functioning correctly.

i know they look great as it is (stock). but i bought this car for $300 but it wasnt working so i fixed. but the fenders are messed up. front bumper is broken and rear bumper has two bumps on each side so i just wanted to see how a body kit would look like. also i lowered it to 2.5" and it looks like the body kit will be draged arround.

in my opinion try and find a 92- 93 xsi bumper with supports, and get some jdm fenders would definately look clean and would help with some of your repairs
