I would just save the money and buy the saleen kit if that is what you want..Buy the time you get the bumper and letters filled you will be half way to the kit

to fill the rear end costs as much as buying a new bumper, if you want it done right

I was going to say just buy the Saleen rear. But the problem is you would then have to buy the side skirts and front seperately, this is expensive to do instead of the entire kit. I have a saleen kit. Also, are you getting fiberglass or polyurethane? If you have the money definately get urethane. however, the fiberglass is a perfectly good kit, IF you follow these two steps: 1) Make sure your painter/installer KNOWS what they're doing, fiberglass is very delicate when installing. and 2) be very carfeful driving for if you just even nudge the bumper into a curb it the paint will crack. the bumber will be fine, but now you'll have cracks in your paint, and these ARE visible fron 5 feet away

hmmm... i think i wanna go with polyurethane... but damn i dont wanna have to wait to save the money for it... because ive seen the urethane kit go for 800$ and the fiberglass kit for 400$... but i also dont want it looking like sh*t... so i guess ill just save my money. i really appreciate all the help you guys have given me so far. saved me from making a huge mistake.... |

dude seriously, even if its cheaper, youll end up spending more
DO NOT GET FIBERGLASS, one little scrape and it breaks, seriously, dont even THINK about fiberglass, get it out of your head now

Don't worry Springs, I'll stop him. Tomorrow morning I'll post pics of the imperfections in my fiberglass bumper such as the cracks, chips, spidering paint, and bubbling paint. FIBERGLASS = BIG NO NO!!!
