Default Faced with a difficult decision!!

OK, soon I will be getting about $2300 which means that I get to fix the dents in my car from an accident. Thing is, I can't decide whether I should buy a 97+ Conversion kit from Lexuspros.com which includes Fog lights, door mouldings, grill, front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper.

Or, should I go ahead and buy a Auto coutoure body kit from L-tuned that they have in stock, which does not include Fogs, Door mouldings and grill.

Last option is to buy a JIC body kit which costs approx. the same as the 97+ conversion minus the fogs, grill and door mouldings...By the way, I don't think L-tuned or Lexuspros.com has JIC in stock whereas I can get it within the next 3 weeks or so.

The paint job is being taken care by a buddy of mine which I can pay in installments because he is aware of my situation.

Damn, I want my car to look complete but I don't want it to look too stock.

if your living in new york I would stick with the 97 conversion. Roads up there dont look real suitable for body kits
