How cheap is he going>? cause that looks like a quick dent pull and some touch up paint. Big things to look for is any damage to the inside of the car to signal that the car was in a high impact collision. This looks like a little deal. But be wary, i got screwed that way, guy changed the vin numbers on mine so i went from a 200hp fair lady to a 1 walker granny. everything looked clean and i had a shop check it out, but when i got to tinkering myself i found high school style frame welds. make sure everything is clean unless you know the guy personally AND you think you can trust him. Get a car fax report and know what your getting in to. Also make sure if you touch it up yourself to find out what kind of material the bumper is made of. vynil, aluminum, fiberglass. anything after market might now work well with the stock paint and may cause flaking, chipping or cause it to be brittle. check and change paint accordingly you might know this and im preaching to the choir, just sayin. other than that it looks sleep, twin turno or no?PeaceDmuz

tx for the reply.

its just the front end. he's lowered it to $80 after the ding. mine's a ****ing mess, i've been looking at front body kits, but hard to argue w/$80.

80 is not bad, I think we thought you were talking about the whole car.

looks like paint scratching, not too bad. If you are gonna paint ur car too soon its not too bad. If you want to touch up that part and not paint ur car I think it might cost another 80 - 100 or so at a shop depending.

The OEM has better clearence than most kits, and you must be extra careful with a kit. You will never really stop working on a bodykit, matinence is high unless you carry it in a trailer to car shows.

Then again I have a stock bumper on right now and its trashed to hell from the previous owner.

My kit is waiting to go on, your choice man...
