Default Body Kit Advice

I'm looking for a body kit...need some advice though. I found this
website that sells them for pretty cheap, but I want to make sure
they're good...has anyone ordered anything from PaAutoracing before?
Let me know, wanna check it out before I buy. Thanks!

Fiberglas cracks and trears very easily.
The original bumper covers are urethane,flexible and much more durable.

Most of the cars I see with body kits have damaged air dams and read bumper
covers.Lowering the car makes it much more likely,too.

My advice is don't bother with a body kit. Spend the same amount of
money on real performance mods and you could have a pretty quick car.
Many body kits do nothing but give pedestrians and petrolheads a good laugh.

Working out will do much more for your body than a body kit.

Working on drivetrains will definitely build your body.
My assignment the other day was to hand carry a segmented driveshaft
down the street for a carrier bearing press job.
They couldn't do it.
Back home, then I got a car to go another mile.
Feels good.

.... that you have no idea how to drive. Spend the first thousand on
driver schools. Otherwise, you end up with a car that's *way* better
than you'll ever be.
