Body Kits

[Justin p]

Looking at getting a body kit :D what kind of price would i be looking at for spraying and fitting of the kit can any one give me a rough idea what im looking at.

[creatinelex]

Depends what kind your after.lexus side skirts are around 240 quid,front lip ,150 quid and same for back i think. painting would be around 300 at a guess . you can easily fit yourself.

[Pip]

Thats a bit vague dude. "How green is the grass?"

Depends on your location and who you use? There was a thread on here before with someone asking the same but using a main dealer bodyshop. Do a search.

I was wondering what the story was?.... 'thought it was because of the Altezza he got for IanF...

[TheDon]

Well from lexus Tee-Side i got the following:

TRD Front Lip

TRD Side Skirts

TTE Rear Lip

All the above came to £420 including delivery, luckily i have family connctions with a bodyshop and had the whole lot resprayed in the mercedes obsidian schwartz (the same as my car) for £100.

It only took about 2 hours to fit the whole lot. an average rate of charge for a body shop is £28 per hour.

£500 seems a lot to me for less than 8 hours work

[Kazi]

To be fair when I bought my kit it was when the old IS was still a sought after model and so bit were expensive. Bearing in mind the same kit from Lexus Leicester would have charged another £300 onto of! As for the spraying and fitting, you have paint, labour and other costs gas oven etc....

I was and still am chuffed with the work they have done :D

[chris2588]

i am about to get myself one as well,i found sth on eBay,full set of body kits are 350 pounds,as i have got the front one,they offer me 200 quid for the sideskirt and rearskirt, offer paintting and fitting for 350 quid, if there just a little bit cheaper than what lexus offers, i prefer to get them from lexus, does any one agree with me?? please tell me if there are any cheap paintting services around bath!! many thanks!

I got mine same time as yours because i got the contact info off you.

It has p***** me off that everyone is getting it now because it is cheap as chips, i remember like you, the parts were quite dear and not common. Now every coont and his mother is getting them because of the new model.

Makes me wanna get rid of the lexus. If i wanted something common i would have bought a ford. Oh well another 6mnths and new car ownership is looking imminent ;)

BTW £500 is dear.

Didnt think he was allowed to trade anymore, very naughty indeed.

He dont, he just sends email to everyone from his email list :o i still get them (emails)

[Pip]

I had a COSWORTH gord. Ford just sponsored them lol!! :D Ask any cosworth aficionado and they will state until they are blue(pun intended) in the face that Ford just donated the shell. lol!

You know what i mean. :winky:

I was gonna say that the bits he sells are meant to be made of blu-tac. His website is still up. Not allowed to trade, i think i would want more done than that.

Lol @ Crazylex!

Pip! Most fast Fords are great, cheap and fast! Take the Focus RS and new ST!! But the old skool motors are the best, RS Turbo which i used to have and the RS500 in A1 condition can still fetch £15000!!!

Sorry off topic, i guess £500 is a little steep just for fitting skirts, and bein from Lex themselves its not like there difficult to fit!! Shop around and don't be afraid to ask them to drop price, you will be surprised sometimes !!!

So what is the best price for TRD lip, TTE rear skirt and TRD skirts nowadays anyway??

I wouldnt say the Focus RS is cheap or the new ST (BTW Ford cannot keep up with the demand at the moment. I went to test drive one and the chap said if i placed an order now it would be met early 2007!!) If you compare it to the competition i guess they are cheap.

The escort cosworth which i had aint cheap nor cheap to maintain but yeah i know the models you are on about being a cheap way to get some decent power.

The bits you want you can probably pick up for the cost of a loaf of bread and a packet of fags.

Fecking ridiculous it is.

[Rich OB]

Not cheap but as you say compared to the competition, i had the first ST fully spec'd and modded til som scum bags nicked it last year, barely run in! Anyway, is the waiting list really that long! Feck!!

Have to Mark a call at Teeside for some bargains, and i know what you mean that when every Tom ***** n Arry as em you wanna get summit else... Oh well! Its how you do it i suppose and what you get to compliment the kit!!
