Waaaaay to much, I could have bought an FD between the kit cost, shipping, and body work :( Well at least a large down payment anyway about 3 for the entire kit.

chronicspeed 07-22-2002 11:53 AM

i like that front kit what kind is it :o how much$

RotorBalls 07-22-2002 11:56 AM

Yeah lets hope I don't get a kidney infection in the other https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png But when she's done it'll be all worth it

Knightsport's kit is one of my favorite, but I can't bring myself to pay almost $1000 for a hood, lol. If they would make a headlight conversion w/ that front end, I'd be there....Looks good though.

Yeah you're right they really do need a headlight conversion. KS sells the conversion to their circular pop ups, but that conversion is way too expensive for what you get.

Rotaryman88 07-22-2002 12:06 PM

The kit on his car is the knightsports new FC kit. Its about $950 for the hood and I believe about $750 for the front end....but you have to pay international shipping, which is pretty steep....

yeah I fucked up and had the hood shipped later than the rest of the kit. Was about another grand just for shipping :(

ILUVMY88CABRIO 07-22-2002 12:25 PM

Damn, I want that kit! I'll buy it off ya for $400. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

RotorBalls 07-22-2002 12:26 PM

If I ever get cought up, I'll be able to buy some more go fast stuff. This car has been in the garage for about 4 years. After I had my lil accident I said **** it and bought a new car. Well a couple years later I totaled that one. So I finally decided to get this old wreck fixed up propperly. **** I need a sponsor or something lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Shane.Trammell 07-23-2002 09:40 AM

i just cant imagine paying that much for a kit. i still like the fake border kit from corksport. it looks good though

cliff 07-26-2002 10:58 PM

Twin89Stangs 07-26-2002 11:11 PM

Because nobody buys it. If there was enough demand they would be sending that stuff over all the time.

Nah I could see him now, kid in a candy shop, bouncing up and down taking pictures.



Been there. done that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Then the guys working on it get to know you personally as you're always down there or calling. The phone will ring and they'll say "It's him" before the answer the phone.



No no, it's not obsession.....https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
