Since my father backed into my car causing 1,600 worth of damage I was thinking about using the insurance money to get a full body kit and then paint when I get the money..What do you guys think?

 

should look sweet

 

you should be able to do both, buy it and paint it for the money

 

Where did you get hit? Front or back? $1600 should be just enough to get a full front facia and have it painted and installed.

 

I got hit from the side....door panel and right fender ....I was thinking of getting the new panel and fender along with this afterarket rear bumber....and then paint later

 

i say goo for it man

 

Nothing I love more than an unpainted bodykit.

 

It will look much better if you just save and get it all done at once.

 

Well, given your case, I would not recommend it. If you need to replace a door panel and quarter panel, then that is all you will get to do. If you were replacing a front or rear facia, great, just replace it with the new style one that you want. I don't see how you are going to be able to replace a door and quarter out of $1600, and then expect to have any money left over for a body kit. Just go by the book on this one. Let the body shop fix your car right and let your insurance pay for it correctly.
