question about wide body kit
widebodys arent cheap to install, they involve molding of some sort on all kits to be done right.they can be put on with out molding but wouldnt look good. the obsidion is wider flares front and rear that need to be molded on. the rado comes with new fenders, but the rear needs to be molded on the quarters. the AIT widebody can be put on without bein bolded, but looks better if molded. and thats molding to fenders and quarters. then they have to be painted and thats not cheap. so ur lookin atleast the price of the kit in paint
3-4k would be extremely cheap for a widebody install and paint.
like already stated, widebodys require quite a bit of modification and if your going to be doing a widebody and a whole repaint anyways, id hope youd get some crazy color not an OEM one.
if you take it to a reputable shop, dont be surprised if the paintjob alone runs you 4-5K

really 8-9 k guess i gotta wait next yr then ____ thats alot of money right there. i can do 3-4 but 8-9 it to high for me i might as well go with a regular body kit. wats wrong with oem paint job i like super white. if anything it will be 2 tone black and white. and it will be cheaper to paint oem instead of another color i was thinking of another color but wouldnt my engine area still be white. i really like that orange color or candy red. well im off to pick up my scion from the dealer hopefully everything went well with the supercharger
theres nothing wrong with it.
but if you gonna go so extreme that you do a widebody and have to get the car completely re-painted...you might as well do something diff. while you at.
widebody's in OEM colors dont look as good imo.

I know people hate buying afinished car.......the thrill of doing the work is gone thing.
But I truely tried to get enough of a loan from the bank to buy Cynce's car when it got sold.......it went to a car dealership for sale and think it finally sold in the low $20000 range,not bad for a car with the amount of mods that car had done to it.
It was not really anything that could be a daily driver though,more of a pretty toy.....that went really fast and looked really sweet.
