but from what Ive read on these forums, its a _____ to get it to fit right. Costs alot for install. Just keep that in mind.

also how much was it to get all 4 pieces painted - a body kit w/ paint for a little over a grand doesnt seem like a bad idea

Yeah I just got a staggered set of rims for $1100 installed otd, though I would like a NICE urethane lip kit, not the std factory one.

I think the kit's name is the dumbest thing in the world. It'd be embarassing to tell people it's "buddy club 2." I didn't see buddy club 1, and already we've got the sequel.

Luckily it looks good and redeems the horrible name. This link has a guy's AP with it on and molded in the back / side skirts, he says he paid $550 for the install with a connection, because it needed quite a bit of work to line up.

If you've got the funds, it should look awesome, though goofy on stock rims. You could do those first.

The Buddy Club 2 is the ONLY kit I would ever put on my tC. The only downside is that it is fiberglass and I live in Iowa. Cold and fiberglass don't mix. However, it is by far the best looking body kit on the market for the tC. If it is painted right and fitted well (even if it isn't molded), it will look great. Go for the kit, it makes more of a visual impact on your than rims.

I am very picky about body kits and how they look. That is why I dont have one of my car. But after seeing TRDRacing's body kit and putting a clear bra on the entire bumper I actually like the body lines and the look of it.

I had seen it before ya know at shows, driving and such. Never really cared much for it until I sat there for three hours working and looking at every inch of the front bumper.

Nice job TRDRacing on body kits.
