Default Advice on my Saleen project

As most know I'm planning on getting my entire fiberglass kit fixed up. I've finally found a good, reputable body shop that I feel very comfortable with. I was referred to them by my performance shop.

To fix everything as I want it and correctly I'm looking at 1500 bux:wallbash: :censored:

Well, I'm like screw this, so I'm gonna truley do it right and sell this kit, and buy the OEM Saleen urethane kit. I've found it for 1100 bux shipped to my door (includes rear/front bumper and side skirts). This is the OEM kit as well and not the replica. Estimate for entire install of the new kit was 900 bux +/- 100. That includes cost of paint and fitment, prep, the whole deal.

So instead of fixing my current kit should I spend that 500 bux and get the urethane and brand new kit? Also it would be warrantied by the shop and such. I'm thinking hell yes.

Since I have to get a new rear bumper, I think I might get the center exhaust bumper with the center exhaust attachment. It would be another 300 bux, but I think it would be cool as hell. Should I do that??? Or keep the S281 bumper? The thing is I just spent 130 bux on those black chrome tips and would have to sell them.

Urethane > fiberglass, even if it costs more. Keep the regular exhaust.

Picked the 351, best looking Saleen in my opinion. If you're going to do it, might as well go ***** out.

Yes, it is the Chicane exhaust. They price it at 325.00 for the exhaust extension and such. It's of course SS and is already all pre-welded and such for a perfect fit. Also they are 4" SS chrome double walled tips.

It'll be about 1500 for the entire kit and exhaust shipped to my door with the S351 set up. About 1100 to my door for the S281 set up.

Close to 1000 for install.

This and new tires/wheels were my single plans. This and a lot of little things (taillight tint, badges, window badge, etc.)
