i have a few questions about body kits:

what is the molly kit made of?

estimate on how much painting would cost?

is the installation a diy?


and is this a decent kit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36475&item=2454834344

Molly designs is made of urethane. If u buy it from molly designs then u won't have to paint it. If u get that ebay one, it's fiberglass and needs to be painted and probably worked on to fit.

...JDM body kit? That's some deceiving advertising.

The molly designs kit is made out of polyurethane.

Painting could range from 150-quite a bit more depending on where you go.

Yes, installation is fairly simple.

That kit on ebay is a fiberglass replica of the Molly Designs kit, however it says 99-03 and the 02-03 has a different bumper and requires different front valances. The sides and rear are the same, though. I e-mailed one of the people selling that kit for 99-03 and they said it fits all years fine, however I have no clue how that would work and they ignored my comment as to different bumpers insisting it would fit.

I would spend more and get the molly simply because #1. Its better material #2. Its factory matched painted #3. It’s a more guaranteed fit. #4. Convenience of bolt on right out of the package. Quality wins way over cheep stuff to me. Good luck with your hunt. & yes this was discussed many times. 8)

I think whats funny is that the kit in that picture isn't even the kit they're selling. Even funnier is the fact that JDM stand for Japanese Domestic Market and there is no Solara in the Japanese Domestic Market.

The Molly kit has a rear middle piece, the replicas don't include this piece.
