The kit looks infinitely better in person.
I guess for everything including paint and install it came out to just under 4,000. It would have been more but I installed the wing and the side skirts myself. Okay now i'm going to be sick
Not everyone digs the bumpers but I think it looks really sweet.

$4000 
I had no idea body kits were so expensive. I guess they're going to move way down on my list of mods to do. Just above Flux capacitor.
Looks good though.

I'm staying away from forced induction for now. I'm going to do all NA mods: nismo headers, cams, flywheel, clutch, etc.. and maybe the RT hiflow cats. Although an Intercooler would look so bad *** in place of the huge hole in the grill, I'm worried about long term reliability... I thought the greddy was over 6,000?
With the body kit I didn't shell out the 4,000 at once it was over a period of time so it didn't seem so bad until I added it all up :'( Not a cheap hobby...
I can't wait until the weather clears up here so I can get some more pictures.
As far as I know the bodykit is mostly bolt on there was some cuting done to get it to fit right and maybe some double side tape here and there. I installed the side skirts and they were bolt you have to drill 2 additional holes. I installed the spoiler with some help. I think it would be pretty hard to do it by myself. You have to drill 4 holes, that part is farely easy although I was scared ****less drilling but I did it and it all seemed to work out pretty well! FYI the template that came with the wing is off slightly so if you get the nismo wing match up the template to the holes to make sure it's right before you make your holes. I used these plastic T's that fit in the holes that you tape to the deck lid.
I didn't install the bumpers because I thought it would be much more difficult and it was best that I had a shop do it so they could blend and match the paint better. I think it would be pretty hard and impractical to put the stock bumpers back on for the winter. This c-west bumper is pretty durable I hit a racoon. My bumper survived sans small scratch but the racoon did not. If the body shop used double side tape then it would be difficult and a major pain in the *** to take off and reinstall the bumpers, but it's defintely doable. I could return it to stock but I will have to leave the nismo wing on unless I got the holes patched.
