Just as noted above. Unless you can afford not only the price of the kit, but the labor for proper fitment/paint and actually GOOD wheels/suspension to compliment the kit. Look elsewhere, or continue to save. Nothing wrong with going on the slow/steady route.

don't do it...at least not yet. Do minor mods and see if you still like the car down road before you begin to dump a whole mess of money on it.

You made the right choice there kid!!...IMO just roll the fenders and throw some nice dishes in there...I think you will be happy with that...just keep it CLEAN
