Mr. Body Kit (Saleen Kit)

[mustang90]

Anyone have any experience using this company? I swear by Cervinis but i'm looking for a saleen kit. However, I have had run ins with Saleen themselves and there kits require alot of prep. I see Mr. Body Kit offers a Saleen urethene kit for $699.

That is a good price. I can't help re: quality, but am subscribing.

You prefer the S2000 version over the original Saleen 94-98 style? I don't mind the front and side, but the rear I can't get into..

"Mr Body kit" i mean name alone would scare me away.

I would normaly talk people out of those cheap imitation bodykits, because quality is just not there.

But since its Saleen we talking about here, it could very welll be better quality then real saleen...

I bought my Saleen body kit directly at their HQ and their parts do need a lot of prep to fill in pre-existing cracks. Their parts are extremely heavy (the front and rear fascias feel like they weigh 20X more than the stock parts) but super durable. A Honda Civic hit my front bumper head on at about 25-30mph and it didn't even crack, but I couldn't say so much for the Civic's fiberglass bumper.

Yeah but yours are fiberglass right? He is asking about the urethane kit they sell. I am interested as well.

The saleen parts are not fiberglass, they are urethane, and they need tons of prep work.

Well Mr Bodykit ...YES I KNOW the name is scary, I bought my last kit...on my 97' saleen urathane from them very good peoples, product was in great condition upon mail delivery, and it held its own for almost 3 years until I sold it...so all in all YES they are good buisness.. (damn I need spell check)

What was prep like on the kit? Did you (on the installer / painter) comment?

 

[turbogt]

It is true.. Saleen prep is ridiculous...... lots of pinholes..

Thanks for the heads up guys. I'm turning my head towards the cervinis stalker kit since you dont see many of them around here in FL. I did get the saleen 3 piece wing though. How do you think that would look? Full stalker kit, cobra r hood, saleen 3 piece wing, black w/ chrome lip deep dish FR500 wheels and tinted windows on a black car.

Dont do it, that kit is fugly and ricey as hell

It's personal preference honestly, it's your ride, you pay insurance, gas, etc.

I'm going with a full saleen kit but with stock wing and the Cobra R 2000 hood, possibly stripes.

I'm not a fan of the stalker kit for 94-98's

 

[mustang90]

No im putting this on my 2004. Sorry my profile needs to be updated. I sold that car and haven't been on stangnet in awhile.

Stalker kit is the gayest thing I've ever seen.

No, my kit is super heavy urethane. I got my kit directly from Saleen. Saleen only makes urethane kits.

+1 in my opinion. Mostly for the rear fascia that says "STALKER." It just personally didn't float my boat.

 

[Miles]

Not sure I'd agree about 'gayest' - there's a white 99+ stang on these boards with 2 blue stripes and a stalker kit and it looks awesome.

Do what makes you happy(er) with your stang man ... obviously you can see most ppl don't like the stalker kit.

PS - black widow is the gayest kit

 

[Cobain03]

how much prep is needed? im gonna be doing a saleen clone hopefully when i get a new car (01/02 gt or so). i thought about doing it myself since i know the way around body filler and paint. but are these pieces too much for a person whos not that skilled?

maybe not THE gayest but pretty darn gay.

IMO the stalker rear bumber cover is the best looking of the after market choices. side skirts arnt to bad, but the front cover is just a bit extreme for my taste. Ive been thinking for awhile about picking up the saleen front and stalker rear. the saleen rear is just gross.

but like the other guy said its your car, build it how you want it to look. To many people try to make other people like there cars instead of going with what they would prefer. If thats what you want to do just go get your stangnet approved exterior upgrade kit: mach 1 grill delete, mach 1 chin spoiler, and most important your bullit rims.
