#38295, "97-99 Full Body Conversion questions.."




          

ok.. i got a really really really good deal on a FULl body conversion for a 97-99..i'm getting
Front bumper
projector headlights
side skirts
rear bumper
reverse lights
taillights
center piece
hatch that includes a turbo spoiler

i'm like wondering how much you all think that would cost to paint? cause if it's too much i'm thinking about just putting on a couple of the things such as the turbo spoiler and the front bumper..maybe put on the sideskirts..here's my like view on what's important to put on first..
1. turbo spoiler
2. front bumper
3. side skirts
4. rear

cause the rear of 95/96s aren't that bad looking but i like the 97-99 front bumpers..and the turbo spoiler is nice..and the sideskirts will go nice with the bumper.. how much do you think a body place would charge to paint that all and put it on? Also if i were to sand the stuff down myself..how/what would you guys recommend me using to sand it..cause sanding = cheaper.. and to primer it would i just go buy some primer in spray paint can and coat all the pieces? Thanks

For my front and rear conversion, a body shop charged $300 to paint the set of bumpers in factory black spies Hecker paint. I kept my 95/96 skirts.

Why are you getting more Tails? They are the same between years. Also, expect to get raped to fill in the holes where your stock low wing corner pieces were mounted. Very$$$ costly! Because of that, I'd focus on the bumpers and skirts for now.

well..the guy is stripping everything in his car and i didn't want to buy the stuff so he said he'd throw all this stuff in and stuff for the same price.. let's just say it's very cheap. but um.. yeah.. i want to focus on the front and side skirts..but i really do like the turbo wing.
