$4000 is a lot.....a little cheaper than the JP kit.....but imo jon...your ride is much nicer...your car is most unique out of all of us here in CL....you paid the price but it worth it cuz you got the REAL deal!

If I am reading Jon's statement right, though, it is a great price for a custom kit. I am assuming that when he says
after everything said and done
he is including the paint costs.

Oh yeah, $4000 compared to some of the kits that you guys pay out here are "considerably" cheap since I also got door panels and a rear wing including fitting and painting. But still man, for my country's standard, $4000 is a big sum of money to pay.....hiks.

JTANOYO1 is a PIMP with a PIMP RIDE!!!!

Have you ever seen pics of the dude's house?!

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!

$4,000 to him is like $40 to me.

He's got great taste in cars and mods and its obvious from the pics!!!!

Easily one of the top 2 or 3 rides on CL.

Ted

you are right on, that's cheap. you custom make a whole kit with door caps from nothing, that's cheap, and evening including painting then it's a killer deal

get that kit here in the US and you pay AT LEAST 1500 to get them painted

Well...get it insured....and the person who hits you will surely pay a price to have it reproduced.

I agrees....Mr. VIP's custom kit is totally SICK as heck.

You r right on. If somehow the kit got screwed up, I could just easily make another one from the mould that I already have.
