Besides "M5" front/rear body kits, can one buy a complete modified kit made for an E39 '03 540i BMW? Although the "BMW M5" front and rears are great... Most of the body kits I find the most interesting, creative, and stylish are for other cars. In addition, I think the most eye catching kit on a Bimmer (if one chooses the body kit route) would be a body kit that is completely different from the typical M5 norm). Also with me having said that, I posted a question about body kit websites yesterday and unfortunately (although the information was much appreciated : ) .. unfortunately all of the front, rear, and side skirts were identical. Meaning ALL of the kits I found were modelled after the M5 with almost no differences. Is these the only changes I can make? (as far as body kits that only look like M5's). I was wanting to know if it was possible to have a body kit design for a completely different car modified or redesigned to fit an E39 2003 BMW 540? If so, could anyone recommend a site that does this custom body kit work?

does aftermarket bumpers and kits make your car lower then factory bumpers and kit.? I know any person with experience in cars know what I'm talking about. I have a 98 mitsubishi eclipse RS and I kinda was in a finder bender kinda shorta. anyway I want to replace some of the factory stuff with a after market body kit, new fenders and probably a carbon fiber hood, I'm not sure yet. but the factory front bumper cover kinda scraps the ground when I drive in some areas and I don't want to get a body kit if its going scrap the ground any more then it does already. and for you experienced people any tips on the order I put the things on I don't want to put the body kit on if I need to modify the fenders first or anything like that.

Any advice? Please only serious answers, thank you.
Mustang Body Kit? This is a trial balloon question for Mustang owners (fans). I fabricate external vehicle body modification panels as a hobby and was wondering how a 'kit' to modify Mustang '95 - 98 would be recieved. The kit would be a bonded & bolt-on, external panel system that would change the look of a stocker to resemble the 1968 Shelby 500 Mustangs. This would NOT be like the rice-burner kits that are so over-the-top they look silly. The completed vehicle would be equipped with aero headlamps, raised and scooped hood, side ducts and possibly full width tail lamp panel. The plan is to not completely change the original look of the car, rather, to make subtle, muscular and tasteful modifications. Any feedback? Thanks.

Porsche Boxster with a Porsche Carrera gt body kit? In the next month or so I will probably buy a Boxster and I've recently become interested in modifying it with a Carrera gt body kit. My question is how much will the full kit cost with and without the installation fee. Also whats the best place to buy the kit? Another thing I wonder is do the kits actually look good or do they look bad fake? Can you buy the kits according to the color of the car or is it better to just put the kit on and then give the car a paint job so they will match? Also please give me your opinions on the body kit. Thanks. P.S. I'll probably buy a Boxster or Boxster S thats from around 2003( are the kits different if the cars a different year, model).

professional about Body Kits? I put my kit on my car, yes i had to modified it a little bit to fit, but where the kit meets the body of the car is not a tight seam, its a good sized gap that i would like to close up. I was told to use Gorilla Glue, but i really dont think that would work. Or real tight brackets, but that would be alot of tension on the kit. Any pointers.

Traveling out of state with a modified vehicle (tint, body kit, etc)? So I'm from Florida where we are allowed to have such things as tinted windows, removed catalytic converters, etc and my car is titled and registered here. I have my license and insurance also from the state of Florida. I recently traveled out of state and was pulled over and harassed by a town police officer in PA. He ended up not citing me for anything involving the car but for disorderly conduct because I refused to speak with him past a certain point. He used my windows as the windows as a reason to pull me over and I drove away but does any one know legally where it says that if you are traveling somewhere what your protection is for this type of thing? I have spoken with the state police of Florida who have said that its where the vehicle is registered not driven that is the law to go by. I was wondering if anybody knew where to look for it on paper since the officer I spoke to didn't have any reference to a specific law. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. sorry for the confusing sentence above, i ment he used the windows as they are tinted as a reason to pull me over. Also the reason I was in the state was to speak with representatives of a college I will be attending. I will continue to have my current legal residence in Florida while I attend school in the area. I really need to find out a legitimate answer, cited from a legal document, not best guesses on the situation, although they do help. I don't want to be continually harassed and not be able to defend myself out of ignorance. I'd like to clear it up once and for all so no more questions can be asked or people harassed on the subject. also removing the cat is not a crime, and neither is removing most of the EGR system. that i've already had cleared up and can cite you specific evidence if you like. That however is based upon law from state to state, not federally mandated. thanks.
what can i add to my car to make it faster and sound better? i recently got a 1997 Chevy Cavalier for my 17 birthday its a great car looks nice and runs very well. i really want to fix it up kinda like a racing car but not for racing just because i think it looks cool. i would like to modify the engine and add other cool parts such as lights,muffler,body kit, etc. i just have no idea what im doing and a some help from someone would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

Should i even bother to modify my 1994 toyota corolla dx??? I will be getting my drivers lisense soon so my parents are going to give it to me. It is still in great running condition and has very little body damage. It only has 60000 miles on it. If i do plan on modifying it i plan to -paint it a new color -get it a new body kit -fix some small stuff that are wrong with the car (windows, filter) -install HID lights Is it really worth it??
I really like the look of this car, and I was wondering if that can look similar.? This picture is of a photo-shopped 1990 Honda CRX, it would be impossible to emulate unless I was to make my own body kit. But I've become infatuated with the style and was wondering if there are any cars that I could modify to look similar to this. What I especially like is the wide body kit and the bumper. If anyone knows anything about a kit that looks like this, let me know.
Good Car Deal??? http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=21&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sortfield=PRICE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&criteria=K-%7CE-%7CM-_45_%7CB-10000%7CD-_408_%7CN-N%7CR-50%7CI-1%7CP-PRICE+descending%7CQ-descending%7CZ-22102&aff=national&paId=134255645&recnum=4&leadExists=true Check out that site... it is a link to a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS for 8,000 bux. The car has obviously been modified with a body kit and carbon fiber hood, and the seller boasts that it is a fully loaded car. Good buy, or scam? (PS i will probably race a little bit here and there, so keep that in mind with the car im getting)
Best/Fastest Car for around 20k.? Im going to get a new car soon. I have around 20k to spend on it. I was thinking of going with a honda civic si. But the civic si is rather slow doing 0-60 in about 6.7. I'm not sure if i can put a turbo on it. I prefer sports coupes with fast 0-60 times between 5-6 seconds. Essentially as fast as possible with around 20 grand. I can buy it used or new. I prefer Japanese cars because of their reliability. I will most likely modify the internals and put a body kit on the car. I'll settle for used cars, or new cars. Im also not sure what new cars are coming out. Just some cars i was thinking of were: Civic Si Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Cobalt SS Used Lancer Evolution 8/9 Used Dodge Srt-4 Used Acura RSX Used Acura Integra Used Mazda RX-7 Used Supra Turbo Used Celica GTS Used 350z Any other suggestions?

building a 1967 mustang from scratch (well...a body shell) costs involved? I am looking to purchase a 1967 mustang body shell, it costs about $9000. what i would like to do with this car, is add a relatively traditional interior, nothing too "custom", i'd like the engine to be a 351 windsor, 4 wheel disk brakes, and keep most of the other parts original. suspension set up, etc. this car is going to be a daily driver, and will not be taken to race. perhaps a show or 2, but never racing or museum quality, so not all the parts need to be the best money can buy. can anyone give me an approximate estimate as to the total cost of the finished product? also, would it be wise/more cost efficient to have all the components installed by a regular mechanic, and then have it taken to a resto shop to have all components tuned, painted, etc. or just have it all done at the resto shop? 1 more thing, i wouldn't mind sticking a modified "Eleanor" body kit on it, does anyone know how much one of those kits goes for? EDIT: and no it won't be cheaper to buy something already completed, as most of the ones people have already completed do not have the engine i want, nor the 4 wheel disk brake, so if i wanted to convert this it would cost even more. and most of the vehicles already completed have been restored in a dodgy manner, and if you want a full rotisserie restored car you gotta pay big bucks. overall for my interests, from scratch is the only way to go...plus its more personal. i've been waiting my whole life for this car. the shell is in absolute mint. i personally know the guy who did the conversion. I was at his house most of the days he was doing the sandblasting and panel replacement. this thing is in absolutely pristine condition. he wanted to sell it over ebay for $15000, but since i'm a friend he's giving me a deal. its hard to pass up. and besides, a shell is the way to go, theres no way you could restore a "barn find" mustang body for that price, and a shell has no rust and no crash damage. EDIT: i forgot to mention, in order to keep reliability at a good high standard, i have considered putting a fuel injected engine in, such as the supercharged 5.4 from the Lightning, how much should this change the price? I've gotten so many different quotes on 351's that im not really sure of their average price. EDIT: (god i wish they'd just let askers reply to the answers on this site) yes it is a fastback shell, but the eleanor thing is just an idea, id install that myself, no need to take that to the shop. EDIT AGAIN: (sorry lol) my other option would be to go out and buy a 67 barn find for like $2000 or something, that already has a 302 in it, how much would something like this cost to restomod, if i were to not change anything on it but the brakes, and then have the rest of the car restored to its original condition? its another option ive got since i havent BOUGHT the shell yet.
what sort of car modifications are considered illegal? I just bought a new mazda 6, though I will mostly use it for work, i have always wanted to race and i am thinking about modifying it.

Is a 1992 Acura Integra a decent platform to modify? As far as a sport compact is concerned, is a 92 Acura Integra a decent car to modify? I'm not talking about ridiculous spoilers or gaudy body kits, I mean, is the B18A1 motor in these cars good to build up? Can I get 200hp at the flywheel with bolt ons, or do I have to go with a power adder? If the motor is built correctly, will it still have this power reliably? I've got a Ford Mustang that is my sports car, I just would like to try something new with a sport compact. Does anyone have good information or links?

Perhaps a WOMEN is the BEST ENGINE ever built? Should a MAN forget about his “ OTHER MACHINES”…? A woman’s V can takes any size pistons, is self lubricating, starts with one touch & does its oil change every four weeks. Her chest is more fascinating then any pair of headlights; as they self wash *MILK* when you play dirty with them ;o). A woman has the best interior in the market, more cushion for the pushing & the rougher your ride gets, the better it sounds & the pleasure is AMAZING. Not to mention the back door lets the air pressure out & keeps the temperature just about right LOL. Her back is the best modified body kit you can ever dream off? For her back, the paintwork comes in all varieties *underwear*, different colours & styles can be worn on it to suit your desires. Her feet are no less then 21’ inch gold chromes, if they rub your handbrake, JUST IMAGINE. You choose: For a man to keep a car or a motorbike comes a high cost “MOT, INSURANCE etc”. Though for a man to keep a woman its free, all he needs to be is soft hearted, polite, show manners, be a gentle man
need opinions on modifying a car..? Hello i am looking to get into tuning cars, and i have no real experience or knowledge of the subject, i am a noob. I would like some advice on good cars, and what is good for a beginner to the hobby. I like the honda fit sport and the nissan altima coupe, i don't know if these are good cars to tune, so if someone can help me on this i would be greatly appreciative. PS- also i need some dos and donts, i dont want to be one of the idiots with a huge spoiler with a too loud exhaust and crappy body kit haha, thanks. Also, with the altima coupe, is the CVT any good, also are 18" rims good? PPS- does it matter if it is a front wheel drive?

Insurance for modified cars? I recently renewed my car insurance in January. I wanted to get a quote as I want to mod my car, but had to put it off for another year as the insurance is just ludicrously expensive, and I ended up insuring with Elephhant (standard) I have a 1.6 Honda Civic as companies such as Livingston's Warman, Sky Insurance and Adrian Flux were quoting me in excess of £1200. I have two years no claims bonus and am 27. My (standard) quote with elephant cost me £450 but only with my mum as a second driver. Are there any companies out there who cater for modified car owners, and live int he real world. I am not looking to add any wild body kits, just simple mods like wheels, suspension,brakes, exhaust etc.

First car questions? Ok... im 15, a little too young for a first car but i might as well plan ahead So, the basics, i want something sporty (yes i am aware of insurance costs for teens driving sports cars) favorably imported (japanese or euro) cheap enough to be a first car, not too fancy but can be fast if you fix it up right. I dont really want to be one of those people with a crappy civic that has a brand new body kit or any ricer for that matter. As much as i would like to own either a skyline (illegal unless modified for US standards)rx7 (hard to find and maybe a bit pricey) supra (also pricey) and nsx (just plain damn expensive), none of those are even close to my price range and time. Something that is fairly decent looking and doesnt get laughed at when it passes by. It doesnt have to be a total chick magnet but i would like it so seem nice with the ladies. My only other alternative would be a crotch rocket but i'd probably kill myself :) . Any suggestions? please try to be polite and non-sarcastic

Why are cops in San Diego hate import cars? i live in san diego and here people who like hondas,acuras,mitsubishi anything related to import racing we get stoped all the time and even put harsh laws like if your car looks racy they could tell us to pop the hood and give us tickets if its modified which is stupid because every car lover whats his car to be and have the best..i know people have die over illegal street racing but it dosent mean all hondas with body kits race illegally.

Do dealer car upgrades add to trade-in value? Hi there, i bought a 2006 civic si coupe back in 2006 when they were rare and hard to find, at the time the only one i could find had a bunch of dealer upgrades that pushed the cost from 20,800 to almost 25,000 all of the upgrades are honda factory performance parts such as the exhaust, suspension, body kits and wheels nothing has been modified outside of warranty. I notice when i go to KBB.com and look up my resale value none of those options appear on the list. So does that mean they're not going to give me anything for the options? Hi, i guess i didnt mention that the parts are all honda factory performance parts. someone indicated that 'non manufacturer' parts are not worth anything, they're all manufacturer parts.
1989 Geo Spectrum Body Kit? I build cars. Usually older sports cars, Right now I have a 1978 Trans Am, and a 1984 Pontiac Fiero. Today, I am thinking of a new sort of project. I found a 1989 Geo Spectrum , with a 1.5 liter 4 cylinder, and a 5 speed, 100,000 miles and new clutch, approximately 38 - 40 mpg. I WANT 38-40 MPG, but i dont want a geo spectrum, or a brand new car, so i looked for a body kit, of course it doesnt exist. Anyone think of a car there is a body kit for that could be slightly modified to work?? this is a picture of a car that is the same body style http://wikicars.org/en/Image:1989geospectrum.jpg i wouldnt mind putting some sweat into updating the look of this old car and tuning it up, put some different exhaust on it, and making me a great gas mileage different looking, car! sounds like the sort of projects we should all be doing so that we arent all paying 4.00 a gallon for gas and getting 10-12 mpg in our trans ams :-) let me know something.

Romeo & Juliet? I must be Juliet, 'cause I've found my Romeo. There's a beautiful car with a "For Sale" sign in my neighborhood. I've love with it, but it's also a fixer-upper and I'm on a budget. I'm not entirely sure what model it is, but I'm fairly sure it's some type of modified Subaru Impreza '93 with a C-speed body kit. It's also got a graphics paint job and a wing. Could someone give me a general idea on how much it might cost to fix up the major problems? Major Problems: 1) Back bumper is dented and falling off in one corner, on the other corner it's cracked. 2) Front bumper has a crack where it connects to the main body of the car, but appears much more stable than the back Minor problems: 1) No radio (it's just been pulled out of the dash) 2) Very VERY dirty 3) I haven't even looked under the hood yet. Please help and thank you in advance!
This is a very good game idea.....? Game developers are making a lot of street racing games, but every time, their games do not satisfy everyone... So I have a very good idea. We should make a game that has every single car in the world or almost all the cars in the world. Like Gran Turismo 4 and also include all the famous car modifying brands in the world, so you can modify your car like in Need for speed Underground 2, but with genuine body kits and parts. So the end result is Gran Turismo 4 plus Need for Speed Underground 2 fused together. Well I have not tried Pro Street yet so i do not know if the moding system in that game is good or not... So anyway, who thinks my idea of this game is good??? (reason why i picked GT4 and NFSU2 is because GT4 has over 700 cars and NFSU2 has a very advanced moding system)
Need help with EREBUNI Front End Replacement Bumper? I have a problem, I ordered a replacement bumper for my 2003 mazda 6 i, and it came directly from EREBUNI which does alot of ground effects kits, They informed that my car will have to be modified, I was okay with that, but didnt realize that the body shop told me that my Reinforcement bar that goes across the front of the car needs to be removed or modified. My question is should I do this,Is it okay to modify the reinforcement bar or not, I heard two different stories but Im not really sure, so the front bumper is just sitting at the body shop waiting to be put on but I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP

Modifying a Honda Civic? Why do young kids feel the need to over modify a Honda Civic? They do realize they are disposable cars, right? I mean they originally cost about $12,000, so when these kids buy them used with 150,000 miles on them for $2000 and then sink about $5000 into them between rims, paint, mufflers and body & suspension kits. Do they know how ridiculous they look driving in them? They look like a little kid driving a go cart in the street all done up so that people will look at how stupid they are. Why not buy a real car that is 90% of the way to being fully moded, like a Mustag or Camaro, with a REAL engine in it and original sold as a sports car and not as a secretaries car. Add a nice exhaust on a Mustang and you have one of the nicest sounding cars on the road with true acceleration. Not some little lawnmower that sounds like it is farting and going no where too fast.
Replicating Concept Cars? Ever since I laid eyes on the 2004 concept-E car by Mitsubishi it has made me shun other cars immediately. I just love the entire exterior Body http://rayjcabrera.googlepages.com/Mitsubishi_Eclipse_Concept_E.jpg So I was thinking, (with a huge bankroll) is it actually possible to custom manufacture that body (I dont think mitsubishi will ever just sell me the body of their limited concept-E's) and I plan to modify and custome fit it on a platform of choice. engine etc (most likely a donor evo, if not then I'll buy a new one just to strip the evo and place my new custom designed body kit on its platform) am I on crack? or is this possible. (with disregard to costs I wont let it get in the way of this dream project) Can I make this happen one day! ....... it's the only Body kit i want for my dream car.
