There's no point in jazzing up the outside of the car and letting the interior remain plain and boring

Select a body shop for getting cheap body kits and to do the work for you. They will locate a number on your door panel that tells them the color of your vehicle's original paint. You want your body kit to match. Something else to consider is to have your body kit mailed directly to the shop, saving you the hassle of transporting large parts. Unless you own a truck, you really don't want to be transporting a new hood across town. In that case any damage caused between your place and the body shop would be your problem, not the shipper's.

Not that Expensive

It may not be as expensive as you think to invest in a car kit to give your vehicle a face lift. For example, you can get a full body kit for a Ford Mustang, Honda Civic, Ford Focus, Acura Integra or Mitsubishi Eclipse for $350.

An SUV full body kit, for say a Chevrolet Blazer or GMC Jimmy, will cost between $800 and $900. Pickup trucks are in that same price range. But, of course, if you add items to the basic body kit, the price goes up.

Body kits vary in quality but almost all of them will need some modification or "drilling out" to fit your vehicle properly. That's why installation is best left to the professionals.

Online Sources

Check some online sources before you buy, to educate yourself on the market, materials and products. Some sites to check out include: body-kits.biz, wickedbodies.net, carbodykits.com, autodirectsave.com and andysautosport.com

Some sites offer tips on which materials to choose for your location, when quality matters more than price and shipping your purchase. You should also check out discussion groups on the web to learn what kind of experiences other people had with the kit you're thinking of buying.

Check Climate

Consider where a person lives when he's giving online advice on materials and products. If he's in southern California and you're in Minnesota, you're talking apples and oranges. Weather and road conditions that you expect to encounter should affect your buying decision.

Some of the sites are Australian, British or Canadian, so make sure you know something about the climate where the poster lives before you make a comparison for where you live.

Whether you're looking for a Mustang body kit or another car body kit, shop around and compare prices, quality, materials, geography, installation challenges, appearance and durability.
