Default Got any ideas?

Okay, so I got in a wreck Monday night (see https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=46235&start=0). I figure I might as well try to make the best out of this situation. The body shop is willing to purchase and put on aftermarket stuff instead of returning it to stock.

I don't really know much about prices, but I'm sure there are many of you out there that do, and I need some advice. Several people have made the suggestion of looking into a body kit which is an idea I really like. The 2 kits that I like the most are the KenStyle kit and the NKB Power kit. Does anyone know if they're significantly more than the stock lil ground effects kit is? If so, then are there any GOOD replicas that are close to the same price as the stock stuff?

Getting a body kit was a great idea...thanks to all those who suggested it!!!


If anybody has any other ideas like that, feel free to lemme know.

Hopefully I can end up looking at the time it spends in the shop as an extreme makeover for my box instead of repairs to fix some idiot driver's stupidity.

Well I sell the ken style lip kit and the fabulous kit myself... I know the fabulous kit drops the bottom line about 2.75 at the lowest all the way around.

Yeah I didnt stay too long in all those honda rooms. your car looked good. I wish the fab kit didnt have the bumper license plate recess. Oh well. Team NVS and I were outside near the fountain.
Oh and my main thing is are they really wavy out of the box?

Dude, that sux about yer ride! I hope it works out so you can get the kit you want, as there's no better time than now. What have you been up to lately? I haven't been checking the site very often. Good luck.

Sup man? The M3's as sweet as ever, but I'm putting it up for sale. Audra has received multiple job offers to work in Honolulu, so I think I'll go with her.
We're gonna ship the box and move into something tiny and smelly in Waikiki until I can find a job and we establish ourselves there. PM me if you wanna see pics or read more. I'm psyched......but pretty nervous about the whole move and all that it entails. Oh, and the box is the same, except for a BSP grill which looks SOO much better than the TCM one did.

Anybody want a nice 98 M3 sedan?

How have things been with you, excluding that xB-hatin azzhole situation?
