wow..that is very inexpensive for that kit. i like that back bumper alot....if i got it, i would have the bottom trim of the rear fascia painted dark, so it stands out like a seperate splitter. i also like the "ss hood", as it is known by many stratus people. but for a four piece kit, that is damn cheap...ussually they charge very little for the kit,a nd charge a ton for the shipping, but thats not a bad price at all.
i would check, however, on the fitment for the 03+ coupes, because your back end is different.

I like the hood and side skirts, but I cant stand the front end. It sits way too low and if you had a lowered car like mine, it would just smack entirely too much stuff. I already have to be careful as it is turning around with my stock bumpers. The backend aint bad, and I'm in agreement with Pat, I'd paint it darker to stand out.

The price is cheaper then usual, but since they are probably clearing out inventory, it makes sense.

Good luck with your purchase if you make it.

ehh...they are still makin 80 bucks off of it plus insurance cost as it really only costs 125 dollars to ship...not 250. When they buy into places the cost for them by truck is 30000-50000 dollars and they make 150000-200000 of the initial buy in for charging relatively cheap prices. Now in this case they dont make nearly as much but they still make something. I like the kit...however you will scrape a lot so get urethane if you buy one.

I have dealer accounts set up w/ three main body kit suppliers...Outlook Concepts, Extreme Dimension, and Wings West. Others are through Foriegn Auto Tech and Keystone automotive...although I rarely deal anymore due to lack of funds.
