MP3 body conversion

hey guys, just thought id throw this idea out. i have been getting a rediculous amount of PMs about people wanting MP3 body kits and how to get them and such. if i were to put together a group buy, with everything included, would anybody be interested. id have to check on price, but i know i can get them really cheap. for those that are close to me in the PA/MD area, i would even be willing to install them for people really cheap. this is just the first step of this whole process and im just looking to see who would defanitely be interested. thanks guys.

well i haven't talked to the guys about it yet, but i would guess the front bumper would be about 160-180, rebar 160180, wheel wells and grills 150. so for the front about 500. and the sideskirts would be about 160 to 180. shipping for my whole kit was 160, so at most, we would be looking at that expense for shipping. i am in gettysburg, pa and would be willing to deliver the kits within a reasonable distance from my house. i would also do installations for ppl for say 50 for the front bumper. these numbers are all still up in the air, but i guarantee it will be ALOT cheaper than any local dealer might get it.

I'm interested in the side skirts

can't get the front bumper cuz of the headlight difference of my 3rd gen

well i do like the stock 99-00 front bumper better than the 01+ one

so how much would the side skirts, and the rear bumper run me

thats all before paint, i could most likely do paint also, but it would be more expensive at the dealer. if i got it done, i would have to do it through the place where id get the kits and it would most likely be cheaper to go to a paint shop and have them do it.
vagabondx, i can call about the skirts, as soon as i know who all is interested, bc it will be cheaper if i bought them when i also bought alot of other mp3 stuff. as far as the rear skirts, i can get them for about 175, but they are on backorder right now bc of the mazdaspeeds.

ok guys. the deal looks good, i got all the prices:
160 Front Bumper
160 Rebar
165 Side skirts
20 lower grill
20 wheel wells each
245 Spoiler
140 Upper grill (not necessary, old one will fit)

shipping really varies on location, but we can work that out after we get some defanite buyers and such. all the parts listed come primered and ready to paint. for those local, around PA, i'll be willing to deliver for a price and install for 50 for the front, and 40 for the skirts. i can also handle painting the parts if your local, like i can take it and have it painted and then deliver and install it. as far as people buying that aren't local, i can just have it shipped to you, but paint and installation wont be an option. these parts are the ones that i am offering you guys now, but i can also get you just about anything else. i mean, H&R, eibach, injen, aem, wings west, arospeed, mazdaspeed, adn anything else pretty much. i am not a dealer, just have some hookups and am willing to get good buys together for you guys. please feel free to call me at 717-328-1430 for more info on parts. i am usually not here, so leave a message and i'll defanitely get back to you. i will need to take payments on this stuff before ordering. i can currently get 2 full mp3 kits with the exception of hte rear thats on backorder shipped out today. they are ready and waiting to be shipped, so the first 2 buyers can have their kit within days. thanks guys.
