Buy Quality Parts!

"Buying Body Kits?" then buy QUALITY.  Buying Lambo's? then buy QUALITY. 

Saving money is not always just spending less, saving money is buying quality body kits or Lambo door kits and spending less on the installation.  Your biggest gamble (and expense) when shopping for some of these items will be estimating how much its going to cost you to have them installed.

Body kits in particular can be blemished and warped so badly that most shops won't (or can't) install them.

We can install these poor fitting kits, but you may lose your budget in the process.  You think you saved $300 on that body kit, but the installation cost $1000 more than you thought (to do it right). Now you have to ask, how much did you really save?.  When considering fixing items like this, it's a matter of preference, also, if its worth the extra money to you. 

If you buy a high quality kit, the install should be pretty straight forward with only normal amounts of blemishes to repair and trimming to do.

Repairing vs. Replacing Body Kits?

When faced with the notion that you need to have your body kit / ground effects kit repaired or replaced, you have to consider some things when you buy a new kit; The shop may have to refit and reprep the new piece plus the cost of the new part itself.  If you repair the item, you are starting with a piece that has already been test fit and hopefully de-blemished to a satisfactory point.  Usually the difference in price is about the same or cheaper. The decision here has to be time. It may take up to 4 weeks to get these parts-as some of the manufacturers won't even make them until they are ordered.

Lambo / Vertical Door Kits?

Always look for bolt-on kits first. Unfortunately, you can't take the sales person's word that they are actually bolt on.  It seems there are some companies that are actually charging more for a bolt-on, and then shipping a universal one.  We will not link to these companies' websites-as we don't want to help promote them, we have been in communication with the manufacturers and they are working to rectify this situation.  We actually had this happen to a few of our customers.  The word of advice here is to call us first and we can help you

 save money on the install by buying quality.

We have a Hierarchy of suppliers that we choose from when ordering parts for your car. We always go with the best bolt-on first; then we consider universal kits from another supplier (who we have been doing business with for years).  They stand behind their product. We also have a list of companies to stay away from (we won't link to them as we don't want to help promote their website either).

Pricing

Pricing items like these can be especially difficult, this is one of the reasons most body shops won't even consider doing work of this nature.

We are not going to try and give you a price for installing your body kit or ground effects and will not even attempt other custom items here, but we can give you a range of pricing with some common needs most people have.
