any decent quality body kit is going to cost a grand or more. widebody may be an extra $500 or so. stickers are cheap, paint depends on how you do it, you can do a lot of work yourself and just do a rustoleum job for under $100, or you can spent $500-$1k on a cheap single stage job. those bride seats are 1200 each or so depending on what type they are. Wheels and tires are probably $3000 plus he probably has coilovers and other suspension arms to lower it that much.


Body Kit- $1000
Widebody - $500
Stickers- who the fuck cares
Paint- $100-1000
Seats- $800-2400
Wheels/tires- $1000-3000
Coilovers- $800-2000
Suspension- $500-1000

So in total $4700- $10900 roundabout
 
^ LOL paint-$100-$1000. you are clueless. Especially if your counting that for the body work for the bodykit and over fenders.

the rims are worth ~600 per rim. There AME Circlar Spec R's.

i clearly stated that was a cheap single stage job. and have you seen a good rustoleum paint job? they can be done for under $100. I wasnt counting having the body work done by someone else.
 
did you see the picture he posted? It obviously doesn't have a rattle can spray job...

wait, you must have been looking at D's car! (kidding D)

nobody said anything about a rattle can job. You can take rustoleum and roll it on and it will come out looking amazing if you do the work correctly. You are on a 240 forum, surely you have seen the process before?

Another way to get a decent paint job for cheap, do all the body work yourself, bring it to maaco and talk to the expert painter there, give him a little extra on the side and you can get a decent single stage for $300-400. go home and wetsand/buff/polish and you have a very good paint job on the cheap.
 
it does not look amazing.. if you think that looks good you must have never seen a decent paint job
 
What did I read wrong exactly? I have seen them done before "correctly" and they still do not compare to a quality paint job at a body shop.

I don't see how you can argue this. Sure, it looks alright for $100, but not anywhere near a real paint job.
 
after your done saving up for your cheap $100 dollar membership maybe you can save up for a premium membership and neg rep me back

:D

Wow. Yeah....<$100 for a "good" paint job.

We don't see professional cars with roll-on paint. We don't see manufactured cars with roll-on paint. If it looked SO amazing, it'd be done on more than cheapass 240's like ours. We don't see any Vettes, Skylines, or Porsche's with them do we? Exactly. Learn what quality is. Chip Foose isn't rolling on rustoleum. Carol Shelby doesn't use it on his toys. It's a cheap fix for cheap people.

And save the "oooo I'm gonna act like a douche" attitude. We don't care. Really, nobody cares. Save your derps. Keep it up and see how long before the banhammer comes.
