decisions on a kit
hey, so I finally i've saved up enough money for the kit i want. I really like the images of this diablo kit for the first gen. i'm relatively new to the modding of my car scene. can anyone tell me if its worth buying quality wise. if not, what should i look for.
beyond that, isn't installation more expensive then the overall kit?

Your buying a body kit pre-painted? Bad idea, every kit fits differently and will need modification before final paint and install.

If you want it done really nice with good products expect to spend a couple grand with kit pricing.

Re: decisions on a kit
Dude I have the diablo front and rear bumper. Needs work but if you cover the shipping its yours. You'll have to locate the side skirts but it shouldn't be a problem

What he said.
Don't cheap out on something like painting your car. If you do so, you're gonna have a bad time.

Either go with Cliff for Universal Air bags or ScionPro.com for bags made for the car, basically. Both good options, just depends on your wants/needs/budget.
IMO, suspension is another thing to not cheap out on. I personally went with sleeve bags made for the car.

Re: decisions on a kit
The bags i sell are Universal Air Suspension brand, they are made for the car, the fronts bolt in just like your strut/springs, back brackets are Scion specific.
