well, i'll be completely honest with you... if you've got a good imagination, are good with fiberglassing parts, have a few friends to help try and squeeze the pieces into places they don't neccessarily fit, and don't expect the kit to go on in a few hours, the $399 kits are for you. i completely recommend saving the few extra hundred dollars and going with the better quality (vis, erebuni, kaminari, wings west, andy's autosport, etc...) a good example was my *one size fits all years* combat bumper from asylumms. it required some shaving and molding to accomodate my headlights. it also doesn't fit the black moldings in the wheel wells. if you look at my pic, there's a nasty 3/4" gap under my headlights too.

I wouldn't get Andy's Auto Sport, i hear their stuff is cheap and doesn't fit well. I have a bias towards CARisma because they gave me a good deal and it fit well and is made of quality fiberglass.

LOL...Real funny EvuFleA, real funny. No seriously though I know some people who have bought from them before and they say that the quality and fit is really good. But I'll tell you as soon as I get all of my stuff, in a week or 2. PEACE!!!!!

Well I can say that I went with the Kaminari kit..and damn its good quality!! I ahev made a Merkur bfore and the stuff I bought for that one didnt fit well at all..and I can assure you..its better to pay a little more nd get good quality..cause all the time that goes by when you are trying to make the shit fit is better used to other things...Dont buy cheap..you will only be fooling yourself..:-((
