Bodykit problems any info is helpful :)

Yes no problem, Fit CH 04 to 08, If your plate says CS6A (sedan) no problem, that body kit looks like a nice design as well, price isn’t too bad either I guess.
That company have been around for a while, I have never used them, but I’m sure others members can tell you if they are ok or not, plus the shipping time (if they don’t have it in stock then they will have to make them from moulds, so expect some delay if that is the case)
Safest way is to open PayPal account, and pay that way, money back guarantee on anything you buy plus resolution after payment if problem, I’ve used them for 20 yrs, never had a problem.
Only catch is if they are a US Company shipping costs will be $$$ and may attract import duty/tariff as well, so that price could is in US so you could be looking at double in the end.

Yes lets go!! Just checked shipping costs and it comes to $900~.
Is it possible to instead of painting, just wrap the new parts? Im thinking of wrapping the car and it would be more convenient :))

Dealers choice,
A half decent wrap job will cost the same as a cheap paint job depending where you go. Unless your car is dead strait without any need for body work then wrap can sometimes be reversible without too much headache but if they have to sand / bang / bog panels to make the wrap look good its less reversible.

Cesario nailed it, Also remember that wrap has a limited life span (5 yrs to 7yrs if looked after) if your just doing the body kit bits and not the whole car, then value for money probably if it was my car, I would just paint match it, but your choice.

Shop around for paint jobs and call a few places to get some quotes, I have found if you dont want a show level finish the blokes that operate small business can do a decent (or better) job for the price with decent turn around. Backyard places are fine providing they have booth access and guarantee their work (for liability). None of that under a tarp in the back-yard using an SCA gun crap that you found on facebook market or some crap like that.

I have gotten a few cars painted over the years and had quotes from $500 - $25000 so know what type (Acrylic / 2pac) and quality job you want, just beware of wait times too when you call up to quote as it may take a few months depending on the shop. On average id pay between $5-10k depending on the car

For a cheap job id guestimate the full car (closed door) plus kit fitting / painting would be about $4-5k
If you do go the wrap path just consider the climate your in as well. Wrap wont stand up to the direct Aussie sun for too long before it starts to degrade.

If you want to save a few more $$ when you speak to a paint shop, ask if there is any prep work you can do prior which will save them heaps of time and you lots of money

The body doesnt look too bad. If its just the kit getting painted / fitted id imaging the costs wouldnt be more than $2500 but then you will need some coil-overs / Springs and rims shortly after that so your not running on that mexican stance lol

Keep us posted on your journey
