I am thinking about taking out a loan to buy all my body parts, and wheels.
Is this a bad idea? I have been waiting for a chance to finish the exterior of my car.

I want to order the street concepts combat bumper, vis side skirts, JDM rear lips, and the gangs jail spoiler lip.

The wheels are Excel TZ-5 in gunmetal

Is all of this worth it?

One Note: I will be prepping and the combat bumper, that's why I went the even cheaper route using streetconcept

I wouldnt EVER take a loan out of my car unless I know it would be enough to make it an award and prize money winning car. I just dont see why I would want to owe more money for my car than i have.

It would be wider to save, but you seem to have made up your mind.

Lol, just don't do it. You'll be more satisfied after taking the time to do it piece by piece anyways.

save up your money and or just get a few parts at a time... but if you really want to do it now and are ready to pay off a loan then go ahead and do it...

Don't do it unless you plan on receiving an inheritence or something or a fat late IRS check, really is not a bright idea to take out a loan on something you don't really need.

probly not. depends on what your situation is though. like if you are a poor college student(thats me) its defintly not a good idea. as stated above though if you expect to come into some moeny soon then its all good.

if you have a steady job and can pay it off monthly (and pay MORE than the minimum) without risking anything, all while accepting you will be paying 10ish% interest (unless you have a 0% intro rate)....then hell...why not?

I have taken loans out for stuff for my car but never anything big.. and there have diffently been times I have wanted to take 5-7k out to just finish the damn thing but then I decide that's the easy way out and dont

I surrender, I will just buy everything pice by piece, I just wanted to get it done since I already started working on the body some, and the rear bumper is ready for a respray.

Anyways is the Allbodykits.com
a good site to order parts from, they have the combat front w/ zypher sides and rear. Should I just buy the Front bumper, or stick it out w/ the whole thing?

Personally, I've never heard of that company. But, that doesn't mean they are bad to deal with. I've also heard that the Combat bumper (depending on where you get it, I suppose) is really tough to get on and the fitment is horrible. Its up to you. But, if I were you, I'd stick it out to get the whole thing.
