So anyways .. im 20 yrs old and from Naugatuck Connecticut. Thinking about buying a body kit but not sure which one to get. I like the saleen kits but i also like the spyder and demon kitss. Any suggestions guys?

Hey, welcome to the board. Id go with the saleen kit by preference of looks, however, if you do get it, be prepared to spend a lot of money on paint and prep work. It would also look great with the 18 inch Saleen replica wheels they sell here.

Hey hun thanks for the welcome. Ya i like the saleen look as well. I got a price of 600 for paint and install of the kit. You think thats too much?

Hes a friend of the family. Does awesome work. I was thinkin of gettin the 18 inch cobra r rims. Ahhh it sux being a broke college student supporting myself lol

~Jen~

Welcome aboard, one more vote for the Saleen. That pic with the water is very sexy :love7:

Oh man, 600 for paint and prep, I dont know much about the labor of it except that its expensive, but for that price, Id jump all over it for a full kit. The 18 cobras would look good too, but the Saleens are just so sexy...

Hmm the last 2 posts to my thread have the word sexy in them.. lol

But anyways.. ya i know this guy who has a stang like mine but he totalled it. Had the rims about 3 or 4 months and wants to sell em to me for 800

they are the 18 inch gun metal gray cobra r's..rims AND tires ...i like the chrome but they are in great condition and fit my price range lol

So i think im gonna order the kit this weekend. One of My boyfriend's sponsor is www.bodykits.com and he gets his kits and accessories from them for free or at cost price so he is trying to get me a deal. Everyone i talk to says not to get a fiberglass kit but i dont think i can afford the other urethane one (i guess thats what kind it is)

~Jen~

no fiberglass, save a little more for the urethane. Fiberglass will be finshed after ONE scrape/curb hit. Then you have to spend the money you would have spent on getting the urethane kit in the first place plus more because youll then end up realizing you should have gone with the urethane. Just my opinion.

Hmm ok well see i was in an accident a few days before thanksgiving and the lady gave me 1100 cash for a new back bumper lol

So i kept the money and decided to buy the kit. SO i do have the extra money i just didnt wanna spend it all on a kit ya know lol

JUST DO IT!!! LOL thats a nice chunk of change for a back bumper. You could get the authentic Saleen kit for that price. I say do it.

I work at a Speed shop .I can hook u up with the new Stalker Body kit for $500.00 ..it includes Front bumber, rear bumper, side skirts....let me know.
Forget the saleen kits...to many people got em.

Can't go wrong with Saleen ;)

Welcome to the forum Jen.

This is an off subject post but I've heard it mentioned too many times..
Is Saleen pronounced- Say-Lene or Suh-Lene? Please tell me, I've always wondered this.

say leen.

kinda like SAIL EEN

I say
Say Lean
(like the word say, and lean like a fuel/air mixture.. or a diet...)
:book1:
Also i pronounce it
"Slean or Sleany" much of the time :mblah05:
:nike: :wav:

I dont think i know what that kit looks like.. any pictures? and i will let you know :) Thanks for the help guys

And hmm i say

Say-Lean lol

:) :blob10: :laughing1

check out the link in my sig...I have a 2002 Saleen :)

Also...it is pronounced suh-leen but I say say-leen...

Yea, I heard it come from the mouth of the man himself, its SUH leen. SAY leen goes in breast implants doesnt it?

Madmatt is correct I have seen Steve Saleen in interviews and thats the correct way to say it.

LOL well who cares how you say it they are nice as hell lol

Yeah they are nice cars. I just wanted to pronounce such a good thing like it should.

I own a moostang!

yea it's suh leen.... i work there i mean.... welcome jen

Do you really?

Saleen is located in Irvine, CA...you live in MI

Dayum! Called him out!!

check out their site.. they opened a shop in Troy MI... hence SSV in my sig.. Saleen Specialty Vehicals...so yes i do work there... both shops troy and irvin, both get to do build ups on the 05 saleen.. and let me tell u, we got like over 100 05's.. it's soo great.. we got a couple saleens done, already....

I've seen the 05 Saleen (only in pics on the web). It looks pretty good. :headbang:

:)

I didn't know that. Nice to learn a few things here and there everyday. I tried contacting Saleen and they haven't responded to me after 2 E-mails!!

Do you think you can get me a part for my car? It isn't really a part but the double sided adhesive tape holding my 3 piece spoiler down is starting to come off and I still have the warranty on the car but Saleen just won't respond to me. Is there any way you can get your hands on this item?

I'm sure you can find the adhesive double sided tape at a local hardware store, unless it's different of course.

Also, why is it that Saleens are so much more expensive than Cobras?

I kind of wish I would have bought that Cobra on the showroom for about $5,000 more than my GT, it would have been worth it. :evil6: Oh well
