quote:$1000-1500 aftermarket body kit painted and installedis that a fair price for teh kit, paint and install? seems a bit low to me

Well I'm the cheapo of this bunch...this is what I've hidden from the wife so far.1. FD strut bar $160.002. MoMo shifter $903. MoMo door sills $804. MoMo shift boot $805. MoMo racing Pedals Free6. Tinted Windows $4007. Toucan Eurolites Free8. My wife not finding out...priceless.Total: $810 Canadian $10 American.On a Serious note, I've allocated about $10,000 over 2 years to get the car where I want and be able to show it.Biggest allocation will be a turbo either twin or single..already started pricing it out.As soon as my Home theater is complete I'll be focusing more on the Vibe.

What are Toucan Eurolite Headlights?

Lets see so far:Tint 5 rear windows (high performace metalic 20%) $270.00 Tint front windows (Huper Otik 60%) + shade strip windshield $200.00Cargo mat $190.00 Still to come:- lowering springs (just got quoted $300.00 installed)- silver star head lamps + fog lamps(on order) $49.00 US for head lamps $25.00 US for fog lamps (they have 50% off second set if order on net)- Dyno Max exhuast (super turbo or ultra flow)$????- Weapon-R CIA @ $250.00- New rims and tires @ $1500 to 2000.00- New Stereo (I will custom install it, did last one myself saved big $)Just getting started I put @ $14 000.00 into my 5.0 Mustang.. I think I can get close with this one. p.s. anyone looking for realy good tint that is barely noticable check out the Huper Optik stuff.... well worth the money... I will post some pics in near future. http://www.huperoptik.com/

Toucan Eurolite Bulbs...No Problem Celtic_Curse... but as far as I remember the shift boot was free too....

FOR all of you that want a borla exhaust and an Injen CAI, go to the website http://www.ptuning.com...They sell a package that come with a borla exhaust and injen CAI for $515.....it is for GT and Base models. I should get paid for advertising this person's site all the time lol. BY the way the most important mods for me as of now would be:-underbody kit-----------------------------------------------------$80-Audibahn: two 12inch "Q-sound" subs, and an untake amp---$1000-front strut bar-----------------------------------------------------$80-New mirrors (faded)--------------any one know where to find some? -=Paul=-

Paul-If your mirrors are faded I'd take it back to the dealer --they should be under warranty. James

Definately, thats a fine idea lol. I should have thought of that. Although I was kind of hoping to find a pair of chrome mirrors, or maybe even carbon fiber.
