I was just wondering because a bunch of companies make them but are they all pretty much the same as the official one u buy from saleen? i already know about the whole fiberglass/urethane differences and what not so im not really askin about that...but as for looks and curves and such, are they all identical or does each company add their own little touch to it? I usually buy from abcexclusive when it has come to bodykits ...and so far i have had no complaints and was very impressed with everything ive gotten from them..They recently started making a saleen kit for our cars but refer to it as an sln kit..yeh i know its an abreviation and it looks the same on their car as everyone elses...plus its like $500 cheaper than from buyin at saleen. i just want some input and where you all got your kits from..

Saleen is always going to cost more...The ones from ABC exclusives are nice...just remember that you will save lots of $$$ getting fiberglass over urethane, which you do NOT want.

get one from saleen, they cost pretty much the same, sometimes cheaper sometimes more depending on where your getting the kockoff from.

DONT GET FIBREGLASS they are total crap.

speedworx.com has saleen for a decent price.

saleen has pieces that go on the door that abc doesn't. That is one reason i haven't bought it from them yet. Saleen is a 6 piece set, and abc is a four piece set. My brother had a real saleen kit on his 95 vert and quality was great.

Just looked on saleen's website, they don't show that they have the full bodykit? just show's the rear end.

i have my abc kit sitting on my living room, hopefully gonna get it on the car on sunday after i finish the body work on saturday. i've very impressed w/ the quality of the kit--i'm hoping the fit is as good as the quality. i've never heard a single negative thing about abc, so i'm pretty confident about going with them.

glad you're going with urethane. sure, fiberglass is cheap, but in the money you're gonna have to spend prepping it and on repairs from hitting bumps and what not makes spending a couple hundred more for urethane worth it.

i've seen a whole bunch of the saleen replica kits myself--i almost went w/ the sides and rear. either way, i wouldn't trust anything else but abc or the authentic kit from saleen. just my $.02.
