I dunno about other states but in AL why do ppl buy these expensive body kits on their cars to only install them in a primered state....why!!? Really why the hell would you pay $800.00 for a body kit and not stop to think hey I will have to have this painted and then what comes over ones mind when they decide to install it with out being painted first....

I totally understand it is seriously expensive to have painted but please please do not install them until you get them painted is all I am saying I guess I can not complain about the expense since my brother paints cars for a living and get a kick *** deal on it LOL....

Yes it is expensive but it is like a new toy. They want everyone to see what they got regardless of how bad it looks unpainted and installed.

I just got my factory side/rear skirts and front extension, and it's killing me not to fit them up. However, I agree with you all that it looks goofy to have unpainted addons so I will suck it up. This decision was made even easier after seeing a red Civic the other day with GREEN front/rear bumpers.
