which one?

ok, i think i decided against the millenium kit b/c of all the moulding and extremely high costs of putting the kit on and painting and such so i've changed my mind. Which do you guys think, drift kit (possibly with the buddy club 2 rear bumper just b/c it looks better, same price) or the Hybryd 2 kit (most likely with the buddy club 2 rear bumper as well, a bit cheaper than the hybryd rear). I'm currently leaning towards the hybryd kit but the drift was one of the first kits i was looking at getting about 2 years ago and i still kinda like it. So which do you guys think, i've heard the drift sides are a real pain and so i might even sub out the drift sides for the hybryd 2 sides and hopefully i can get those on there and not have to do any real moulding onto the car so i can take it back stock if need be. so basically i guess it comes down to which front end lol, hybryd 2 or drift, any input would help, thanks guys.

you can install the millenium kit unmolded, its been done. IT doesnt look as clean, but will save lots of money

how exactly would i get the fender flares on without molding them? my idea with the hybryd 2 kit (save for the back) is to keep from molding or drilling (hopefully no drilling at all) but if i have to it would be on the sides and i think i could just get away with maybe 1 or 2 holes on the very bottom (out of sight) and then use double sticky tape on the top of the sides and get away with that, i still have a month or two to decide before i put in the order probably (more if i go mellinium cause nemesis will have his sold by then). i gotta get an exhaust sometime too, i was lookin at the one on Customcougars to try and get the single exit borla system (the sound byte for it sounded pretty good, i don't want anything very loud and definately no rice crap) but the exhaust is probably a ways off... on the topic of my headlights, they are about to look better..... HID BABY!! put in the order today so in a few days i'll be happy as can be

the sides can be held in by doublesided tape/rivets. The front and rear bumpers are bolted like OEM, and the sideskirts are held in the same way, double sided tape and screws/rivets in the fenderwells. You will see the lines between the fiberglass pieces, but i think the millenium is still a nice ass kit molded or not.

I will not do anyone elses car, unless i own my own shop one day. Working out side in the heat or cold sucks.
