Websites that offer body kits or lip kits? Know of any?

Just wondering if you know any websites off the bat that offer body kits or lip kits.

I've been trying to do research on my own, but I guess I need outside thoughts because I try to search at google and cannot find any. Nothing on ebay that I seen or liked.

I am going to try local autobody shops to see if they have designs available and or do you think autobody shops would take the time to customize one for the make of your car? Do you know anyone that has a customized body kit or lip kit? Just trying to get outside opinions thats all.

They make of my car is a 97' Corolla.

Thanks for anyones ideas and help.

Plenty of sites with 93-97 Corolla body kit. Also look on ebay.

They go by the name of Bomber, BMX, or Bomex replica. All look the same, and not really great I think.

I couldn't find any sites with just lips.

I appreciate your help. Yeah I got myself into car mags and wrote done the links to the sites and after I noticed that every body kit site offered the same thing at different prices but that same damn pic of that damn blue car, it is so old now I cannot stand it. I guess I might have to customize a body kit, might be more but oh well maybe I'll earn respect, lol, who knows.

I found a shop that will do it for around $1,000 which is awesome for customizing to what you want. I think that is good, because I havent done any shopping around.

Are you sure you want a body kit for $1k? $1k can go a long ways with handling and performance..... And other mods. Just might want to think about that. But I guess that's an ok price for a custom body kit. Does that price include paint? Make sure you take that into account too. Good luck with whatever you do.

Yea man consider just lowering the car like 2" instead of putting a flashy body kit on.

$800 can get you a nice full suspension set up

for a smooth ride go with eibach pro kit and KYB GR2 struts

a) better handling
b) no worries about fiberglass bumpers cracking
c) looks cleaner
d) if you get a body kit itll look bad if its not lowered

The only down fall of lowering the suspension unless it has gotten better, but I've always heard that doing that to a car is bad news? Because I'm going to be using this car for show but also for travel, not across the United States or anything, but I've always heard from family and friends that lowering the car or raising it for that matter is bad news.

I dont know I have not down that before about lowering or raising the vehicle, but has it gotten better so that you wont wear out your (damn I forgot what it is called), well whatever it is called which slipped my mind is bad for it? Am I wrong or dont know?
