QUOTE(Nigel @ Nov 18, 2005 - 2:01 AM) [snapback]356939[/snapback] thank you for your help lol, im going to do it myself im sure i can ill send you the pic once completed. was quoted $400 per bumper yeah right. cya guys Good Luck  I have a convertible (which basically has the same body as a GT coupe) and I decided that me and my dad were gonna just put the kit on ourselves, it was A LOT of hard work... First of all, you do know that most kits ya find out there are meant for hatchbacks right? This doesnt mean that the kit wont fit your car, your just gonna havta do "Slight Modification" as what most sites tell you... Yeah... Slight modification my ass...  Now Im not positive on exactly how an invader kit would fit, but I know with my kit... The back bumper did not fit at all cuz coupes and convertibles have bigger butts than the hatchbacks... The front for some reason was a lil too long so i had to shorten that up like 2 inches.. Basically the only thing that fitted just fine, was the sideskirts... But like I said, i dont exactly know how the Invader kit works cuz its basically replacing all the bumpers it seems like...right? Mine 's not like that i got to keep all my bumpers on... But just an FYI... Th kit could possibly not fit cuz you have a coupe... The body is slightly bigger than a Hatchback... And if that is the case, you should prolly send to a shop so they can customize it to fit... No offense to ya or anything, but it seems like you dont really have a general idea of how the kits gonna be mounted... have a profeesional do it, it will turn out very pretty  But hopefully, the kit not fitting your coupe will be a problem... Because its a real pain in the butt to make it fit... Just letting you know this culd e a possibilty...
