Is it original saleen stuff? If so, mine fit decent. Only thing is it has to be put into placed, marked, drilled and put the exsisting brackets on. The real saleen stuff also soaks up the paint like you wouldnt beleave. My old body shop had to spray mine quite a few times to get all the tiny holes out of it. I think the price to do it will depend on who you go to, your location, etc..
Just letting ya know what to look forward to. Oh, and no wing? My car looked like crap with teh saleen body kit minus the wing while I was waiting for it to get painted

Jim Hutchins does awesome work. That's where we used to always send our cars when I worked at Cavalier. Check with Brandon back in RS, he's friends with Jim's grandson.

Lee i told you my friend at chevy shawn would probably help you out. all you have to do is test fit the kit and actually paint it. not like the other cars around town that have been mis-matched for a long time. PRIMER IS NOT A COLOR KIDS!! PAINT YOUR KITS!! lol

Cause no one knows. Including me.

If your plans stay the same as what you told me that day @ PAS (psssssssssh) then I would want the car to look as stock as possible. Thats just me.
