alright.. what do u mean by lip kit? sorry im tryin to learn alot more about cars cas i love em. but i would need to paint the black part on the door pannels and stuff like that if i lowered it right?
hmm where should i start...
ok the diff. between a body kit and lip kit is that a lip kit is just a piece that u add on the stock bumper, kinda small, not too out there. a body kit replaces the entire bumper and they come in many styles, from simple to pretty outrageous.
lowering a car or dropping a car (same thing) is pretty much changing your springs/struts to aftermarket ones that will make the car stand lower. painting the molding has nothing to do with it.
btw, if you browse the newbie forum you'll probably learn a lot.

alright thanx guys.. yea i should go read thru sum stuff before i open my mouth.. but yeah ill look in to that stuff i really just want a new front bumper.. and i NEED a new back one.. because the back right side is loose.. so i figured id get a new one.. and get a back to a body kit or sumthin
ya i agree, lower it first..droped cars look tight even w/o a kit =0)..thats why im trying to save fa some springs/coilovers...when you do drop it..which one u planin to get? just springs? or coilovers?
i figured id get a drop over a body kit.. because its cheaper.. but then again i need a new bumper... so i dunno what i should do.. i know you can buy seperate parts to the body kits.. but then i would end up having to match them

No matter what you do.... I think you should drop it first.. It'll look better and even increase handling a bit. If you get a kit.. don't get it until you drop it..... it'll look really weird...

BUT is there a way to hook my bumper back up on the right side?
um i can see if i can go get sum real quick.. but ill tell the story.. see i was at my friends house.. and stupidly i backed up .. and i didnt see the van parked behind the driveway on the other side of the street.. so i backed into that and i guess it broke a bracket or something like that on the right side.. theres a little scratch on it 2 and it just hangs lower and my exaust rattles aginst itx007den said:
